A method of making a moulded component (for example a door) comprises placing a core comprising at least one slab of foam material into one half of a mould with LPSMC, closing the mould and applying pressure and heat to render the LPSMC fluid to at least partially envelop the core and thereby produce a LPSMC coated component, wherein the core has at least one cavity which extends across the width thereof and which has at least a portion which is inboard of the intended outer edge of the component, whereby causing the LPSMC to flow into said at least one cavity to form a bridge between the sides of the so-formed component. The foam material may have a portion with a density in excess of 250 kgm<SUP>-3</SUP>. The core may comprise two slabs of material with a density in excess of 250 kgm<SUP>-3 </SUP>either side of a lower-density core material.
