A local joinery shop would make one up in hard wood. There is plastic/fibreglass ones available there's a few 70s/80s estates around Celbridge with them around the front door.
The timber ones as are the real deal though.
But yeah there's no other word for it I think the masonry dressing around doors are referred to as a Gibbs Surround after the british architect James Gibbs.
