• Are you planning on keeping the doors?

    Unfortunately yes (too many £s for negligible return). Anyway if supermarket flooring can make a comeback so can fake lead inserts 🤣

    Good point though.

  • Can't you (carefully) scrape/cut that lead stuff off?

    For the frame, get wall plastered, see how much depth you are missing on the frame, get thin plywood in right depth, glue onto frame, make nice? Paint plywood if preferred, oil if it's nice.
    Plywood then plaster would be better ofc but you said time is short.
