Dipy 0 Posted February 9, 2020 Hi, I need to replace one of these pieces, mainly the piece which is in the middle above the fancy bit ? Any advice where to get it from would be helpful too. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Temp 1,333 Posted February 9, 2020 Can't really see what the middle bit is. Could you cut a ridge tile to shape? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferdinand 2,401 Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) It looks like a terracotta or brick decorative moulding. Moulding is probably one word you can start from. Take one to a salvage yard, and say “this”. If there are lots of those on houses in your locality, then someone local should have one. May be worth gossiping down the street to see if anyone has a spare. Really need a wider piccie.

Simplysimon 285 Posted February 9, 2020 if it's at the top of a wall under the slates it will be a dentil 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ferdinand 2,401 Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) more exactly .. decorative header corbel brick. compare to these: https://cawardenreclaim.co.uk/bricks/specials/decorative-corbelling Personally I think dentil may be the wrong direction as I think this is Gothic not Classical, and Dentil Is a classical term. Obvs that could be wrong and any term may put you in the ballpark. Edited February 9, 2020 by Ferdinand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
