How do you go about repairing the missing bricks of an arch of this kind? Lots of bricks are missing and broken in half,ie. the ones which jutted out of the wall to make the shape. The inner arch is actually recessed by a one brick. But do you usually have to make a support for the when doing the arch?

Thx, but then what about the bricks which have been chopped in half ie. still have half in the wall, but need another half fixed on to make look as if 90º to the angle of the main wall (if this makes sense!) I imagined having to use lots of ties? I can't literally replace these bricks as that's the full depth of the wall!

Lump hammer and bolster and chisel them out - replace with new. Unless you are saying that wall is only half brick thick:-
So you would end up knocking through to next door (to what I presume is the living room)?
