Wanted: Victorian Stone Corbels Under Ledge

[hetty5]

Hi there,

I did ask this question in another part of the forum but didn't get the answer I was seeking despite many helpful replies. I am looking for someone who has either fitted or used a builder to add/replace Victorian-design exterior stone corbels which sit under the window ledge (example pic attached). I believe they may be load-bearing and The Plough only sells interior plaster ones. I need to stress that I don?t really want to make my own with a mould and I have tried Whitten Timber and all DIY/build centres in the area, and I have Googled ?Corbels? and it?s not as helpful as you?d think sadly. So any personal recommendations of builders or places that sell them ready-made to be fitted would be great.

Thanks.

Not challenging, but do you know for a fact the originals were made of stone ?

Sometimes these components have been cast in really strong plaster.

They are definitely not plaster - stone or cast concrete and they seem virtually impossible to find. We tried lots of places but they seem to all be interior (eg plough etc). If you do have any luck tracking any down I'd be interested to hear about it

Have you tried reclamation yards?

ETA: Also, try googling "stone corbels" and things like this come up:

Have you tried Fine Art Plasterwork in Streatham? I have received a quote from them for a project I am working on for door surrounds, corbels, window mouldings etc... all for the exterior of a property.
