Since 1974, Gable Projects has been at the forefront of Built-Up Felt Roofing services, catering to both New Build and Refurbishment markets. While the roofing industry has evolved significantly over the decades, our expertise in traditional felt roofing remains unmatched, offering a reliable and cost-effective solution for specific roofing needs.
