Gents,
I'm currently in the process of refurbishing my 1928 3 bed semi. Previously, a ghastly UPVC door has been fitted in the arch at the front of my house, giving only around 2' between it, and the original front door and glazing which is set back slightly into the hall. Now, bear with me, due to the angle of the doors, its almost impossible to get any furniture of any decent size into the house, so I'm going to have the front door and surrounding UPVC replaced with a a two door setup.
While I'm at it however, I'd like to replace some of the bastardised stones in the arch in said front door. At some point when the UPVC etc was fitted, someone took an angle grinder to them. I'd like to source replacements, or repair them somehow so when the new front doors are fitted and the replacement supports for the overhanging front roof are fitted, that they can be shaped around these original features.
A picture of this can be seen here Clicky
EDIT: Oooh look, embedded!

Now I know the stone highlighted at the top is the key stone, but I'm unsure of what to call the two stones either side, and this is making it hard to know what to search for. Can anyone help? Also - can anyone suggest the best way of having these replaced? ....or is there a way to repair them?[/url]
