I have a question :-)
 

would you pay 17GBP for door archiatrave if it was fancy ie
victorian,edwardian,french provincial, basically a bit of upmarket class.
The architrave would come in 2x7'&1x4' lenghts and you mitre the angle cut
yourself to suit your own doorframe.

So thats 17GBP per door.

Thanks awfully. :-)

If it was original or with a believable patina and assuming we are talking
both sides of the door then possibly. I'm about to put in original internal
doors at 65 quid a pop, so it's about in line with that.

It would have to be very fancy, or very high quality timber to be worth
£1/foot.

I pay less than that for custom cut moulding at my local woodyard. having
said that last time I was there was 2 years ago and I bought 120 feet !!!

So I guess if its a one off then maybe. If you have many doors then a local
timber merchant with a moulding machine maybe cheaper.

However since you are knocking them up with your fancy new bits and I can do
the same for the same price plus I get the bit, then errrr...... no.

Oh its fancy ok, more to the point *unique*

You are joking? for a lumber yard to set up their equipment for a one off
they'll charge you at least 2.50 per foot, I know I've looked into it.
Paid a visit to three yards local to me.

So I guess if its a one off then maybe. If you have many doors then a
local timber merchant with a moulding machine maybe cheaper.


No chance.

The message

There's plenty that would, but of course, the likes of B&Q will mark it
up to £64.99

Arc goes around both sides, making it 50p per foot

I pay less than that for custom cut moulding at my local woodyard.

Try it now, take your credit card though as it must have trebled in price in
the past few years, blame house doctor, sarah beeny and that fat bloke who
did the gardening thing with charlie dimmock, everyone and his uncle now
wants 'fancy' skirtings, arcs and mouldings.

I have a question :-)
