WHAT IS CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENT?

Cut edge corrosion is the creeping rust that attacks the cut edges and end laps of plastisol-coated steel cladding and roof sheets. On Guildford buildings it typically appears as brown streaks along the bottom of vertical sheets or the laps of a roof, where the original coating has broken down and the bare metal beneath has begun to corrode. Ignored, it spreads relentlessly and leads to full sheet failure.

Our Guildford cut edge corrosion treatment stops the rust in its tracks. We feather back the failing plastisol to a sound edge, treat and prime the exposed steel, then build up and seal the edge with Tor Elastaseal Fibretex or Delcote Seamsil and colour-matched topcoats. The result is up to 15 more years of cladding life, backed by an Insurance Backed Guarantee.

WHY CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL

Protects Surfaces from Corrosion & Wear

Left alone, rust at the cut edges of Guildford sheeting marches steadily up the panel. Specialist treatment arrests the corrosion, stabilises the steel and seals the edge to stop it migrating any further.

Improves Safety & Compliance

Rust streaks, blown sheets and failing fixings on Guildford industrial roofs and cladding are a hazard to staff and the public below. Treating cut edge corrosion early restores the integrity of the building envelope and keeps you compliant with your duty of care.

Extends Asset Lifespan

Cut edge corrosion treatment in Guildford prolongs the life of plastisol sheeting by up to 15 years, backed by an Insurance Backed Guarantee. That is decades of additional service from cladding that might otherwise need full replacement.

Enhances Professional Appearance

Rust streaks running down profiled cladding instantly age a Guildford building and damage tenant and client perceptions. A professional cut edge corrosion treatment removes those streaks, re-establishes a crisp colour line and restores kerb appeal.

Cost-Effective Refurbishment

Re-cladding a Guildford building is a major capital project. Cut edge corrosion treatment costs a fraction of that, avoids scaffolded sheet replacement and keeps the building fully operational throughout.

Our projects

Sky London Campus

Sky – Sky 2 / Sky 4

Colorkote has successfully completed a number of large scale spraying and painting projects for Sky within their London Campus. Due to the construction of the new Flagship Sky Central office complex including studios, a number of existing buildings were looking tired and due to the high profile visitors that Sky attracts they wanted these buildings re-coated and brought up to date.

Sky Project

London

Residential Blocks

This group of 10 blocks of flats are undergoing full window replacement. The surrounding wooden fascia, soffits and shiplap boarding required full decoration to match the new wooden windows. All the 105 flats are occupied, meaning all works had to be carefully programmed to cause minimal disruption to the residents. All works were completed using fixed scaffolding supplied by the main contractor.

London

Waste Recycling Plant

The site was a blight on the landscape being a very large building of bright colour. The client wished to tone down the building to blend in with the local landscape. A 10 yr warranty was requested on the completed work, and the building required very specialist high-level access, especially for the chimneys. Additionally the site needed to remain fully operational with hundreds of lorry deliveries daily.
