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 Christchurch quickly turns a cosmetic blemish into structural damage and full sheet failure.

Cut edge corrosion treatment in Christchurch 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 Christchurch 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

Once the plastisol coating is breached, rust spreads rapidly along the lap joints of Christchurch industrial sheeting, pulling more coating off as it goes. Specialist cut edge corrosion treatment chemically halts that process and seals the edge so corrosion cannot migrate further.

Improves Safety & Compliance

Failing cladding and roof sheets on Christchurch buildings can become a genuine safety risk. Treating cut edge corrosion restores the integrity of the envelope and helps you meet your duty of care and insurance obligations.

Extends Asset Lifespan

Cut edge corrosion treatment in Christchurch 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 Christchurch 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

For Christchurch 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 Christchurch estimator inspects the cladding, measures linear metres of affected sheet edge, photographs each elevation and recommends the most suitable cut edge corrosion treatment system.

Step 2: Surface Preparation

We feather back the degraded plastisol to a sound edge, remove all rust mechanically and apply a rust-inhibiting bare-metal primer across the exposed steel on your Christchurch cladding.

3

Step 3: Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Application

Skilled Christchurch 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

Colour-matched topcoats are applied over the sealed edges, the Christchurch works are inspected and signed off, and we issue your Insurance Backed Guarantee documentation.

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.
