Concrete surround for front door

Hairm · 2007-02-20 21:51:52

Hi The front of our house is flush an just plain plaster and I would like to put a concrete(?) surround on the front door, I am not sure if they are made of concrete but have seen them on many similar georgian style houses, where would I start to source/price this in the midlands?

sounds like precast concrete to me... is it for like an arch or fancy shape around the wall area around the door??

if it is you probably be able to source it locally, check the golden pages under precast.

Precast is where concrete is poured into a mould to produce a shape...is used for alsorts from paving stones, wall capping to fountains..
