WHAT IS CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENT?

Cut edge corrosion is the rust that creeps along the cut edges of plastisol-coated steel sheets, usually at the bottom of vertical cladding or the end lap of a roof sheet. Over time, the original plastisol coating breaks down, the bare metal underneath is exposed, and rust starts to bloom and migrate up the sheet. Left untreated, cut edge corrosion in Berkshire quickly turns a cosmetic blemish into structural damage and full sheet failure.

Cut edge corrosion treatment in Berkshire is the specialist process of arresting that rust, stabilising the substrate and re-sealing the edge so the sheet can give another 10 to 15 years of service. At Colorkote, our Berkshire team uses Tor Elastaseal Fibretex and Delcote Seamsil systems applied over a rust-inhibiting bare-metal primer, with finishing topcoats colour-matched to your existing cladding, all backed by an Insurance Backed Guarantee.

WHY CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL

Protects Surfaces from Corrosion & Wear

Corrosion at the sheet edges of Berkshire cladding accelerates over time, taking more coating with it. Specialist cut edge corrosion treatment stops that spread, sealing the edge against further rust.

Improves Safety & Compliance

Corroded, lifting sheets on a Berkshire building are a hazard waiting to happen. Early cut edge corrosion treatment restores a sound, secure envelope and keeps you on the right side of safety and compliance.

Extends Asset Lifespan

Treating cut edge corrosion in Berkshire adds up to 15 years of extra service life to your cladding and roof sheets, backed by an Insurance Backed Guarantee, and avoids the huge cost of replacement.

Enhances Professional Appearance

Brown rust streaks make any Berkshire building look neglected. Cut edge corrosion treatment removes the staining, re-seals the edge and restores a clean, crisp, colour-matched finish across the cladding.

Cost-Effective Refurbishment

For Berkshire building owners, treating cut edge corrosion is far more economical than re-cladding. It avoids sheet replacement and scaffolding, and the building stays open throughout the works.

OUR CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENT PROCESS

1

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Site Survey

Our Berkshire team carries out a measured survey of the cladding, identifying every affected edge and lap before producing a full specification and quotation.

Step 2: Surface Preparation

Preparation is critical. On every Berkshire job we rake back loose coating, remove rust to a sound substrate, feather the edge and prime the bare metal before treatment.

3

Step 3: Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Application

Skilled Berkshire operatives apply the manufacturer-specified system over every prepared edge, building up and sealing the cut edge to lock out moisture and stop corrosion.

4

Step 4: Quality Checks & Final Handover

We finish with colour-matched topcoats over the treated edges, inspect every elevation of your Berkshire cladding and hand over the Insurance Backed Guarantee paperwork.

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.
