Help! What tradesperson do I need?

Options
Sorry in advance for being a bit clueless!
The door to my conservatory has a 1980's fake grecian moulded architrave 🤢 which i want replacing. In order to replace it I think some brickwork will need to be done, the brickwork is currently curved at the top and has bricks cut out for the fake pillars. Wall then obviously needs replastering and the architrave installed.

Do I need two different tradespeople (joiner and plasterer?) Or is there someone who can do it all?

Bonus if anyone has a rough idea of what it would cost! 

Thanks in advance :)

    I had a problem with the concrete floor that needed doing by the frame. The double glazing people said they'd make good. Found afterwards they hadn't and on return just used expanding foam. Had I known I'd have stipulated or got someone else in.
    I think it might be an idea to get a few double glazing firms to ask for prices on the door and ask would they supply a tradesman or should you and how to work the time line with them should they do it.
    A good firm will have come across such things before so may have contacts (which you should check yourself) or know what's needed.
    The right person who can do the bricks should also be able to do some small plastering work. I take it it's just a small amount.
    Photos would help to understand the size of the problem.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
