Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get architrave made to the same profile as the old victorian stuff that is in my house? By the way, I live in Reading, Berkshire.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Martin.

If you want a decent quantity any decent timber merchant should be able to do this for you. Try Arnold Laver on the Basingstoke Road.
My local Travis Perkins stocks it. Not 100% identical to mine, but then no two houses were the same anyway.
I got mine from a local timber merchant. It was 3" ogee profile. Not a stock item at that size so I had to wait a few days.

Reading,
Is it an extrudable shape, or one with added 3d decorations?
If the former, it can be made with a spindle moulder thing, but you'll have to pay for the cutter to be made, so youre looking at 2 figures. If the latter, your best bet is to make it yourself by casting.
Or if youre lucky you may find what you have already on sale at minimal cost.
