Gable Ends


Curley GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a family business that has been running for over 56 years, supplying fibreglass architectural mouldings, GRP materials, and custom fibreglass solutions throughout Kent, Surrey, and South East London.

Our Legacy in Fibreglass Manufacturing

We began in the mid-1960s, producing high-performance components for the motorcycle industry. Our expertise in GRP motorcycle parts—including custom road motorbike tanks, fairings, mudguards, and seats—led us to supply top racing teams, such as Dunstall Nortons, Colin Seeley Racing, Barry Sheene, Norton Manufacturer, and Gus Kuhn Motorcycles.

During these early years, our passion for racing drove us to own and race three Norton bikes, working with the best riders of the time, including Dave Croxford, Paul Smart, Pat Mahoney, Brian Kemp, and Griff Jenkins. While continuing to supply the motorcycle industry, we expanded into the construction sector by the mid-1980s, creating GRP architectural features such as shop fronts, guttering, fascias & soffits, gable features, and oast house roofs.

Specialists in Architectural Mouldings

As demand for high-quality fibreglass mouldings grew, we became specialists in producing decorative and structural GRP elements for buildings. We now offer a wide range of architectural mouldings, including:

  • Dentil Mouldings – Enhance your property’s roof detailing with durable and decorative dentils, also known as corbels or modillions. These mouldings add a classic aesthetic to any project.
  • Gallows Brackets – Our strong and stylish GRP gallows brackets provide structural support while adding an elegant finishing touch to doorways, porches, and eaves.
  • Corbels, Coppins, Door Canopies, Porches, and Cornices – A variety of decorative and functional architectural solutions tailored to enhance any building design.

In addition to architectural GRP solutions, we provide custom GRP fabrication across multiple industries, including:

  • Fishponds and Water Features
