Kent Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment

WHAT IS CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENT?

If the cut edges of your Kent cladding or roof sheets are streaked with rust, you have cut edge corrosion, and it will only get worse. As the original plastisol coating degrades, the exposed steel corrodes, lifting more coating and spreading the damage along the laps and edges of every affected sheet. Treated early, it is a straightforward specialist repair. Left alone, it leads to expensive sheet replacement.

Colorkote are specialists in cut edge corrosion treatment across Kent. We rake back failing plastisol, treat the rust, prime the bare metal and seal the edge with Tor Elastaseal Fibretex or Delcote Seamsil, before applying colour-matched topcoats. The result extends the life of your cladding by up to 15 years, backed by an Insurance Backed Guarantee.

WHY CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL

Protects Surfaces from Corrosion & Wear

Cut edge corrosion never stays still. On Kent cladding it creeps along the edges and laps, lifting the surrounding coating. Our specialist treatment stops the rust chemically and seals the edge so it cannot spread.

Improves Safety & Compliance

Failing cladding and roof sheets on Kent 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

Replacement is rarely necessary if corrosion is caught early. Our Kent cut edge corrosion treatment adds up to 15 years of guaranteed life to the existing sheets, dramatically improving their lifecycle value.

Enhances Professional Appearance

Cut edge corrosion is unsightly as well as damaging. Treating it restores a clean, uniform finish to your Kent cladding, refreshing kerb appeal and improving tenant and client perceptions.

Cost-Effective Refurbishment

Re-cladding a Kent 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 CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENT PROCESS

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Site Survey

Our Kent 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 Kent job we rake back loose coating, remove rust to a sound substrate, feather the edge and prime the bare metal before treatment.

Step 3: Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Application

The specified sealing system is applied over the prepared edge across your Kent cladding, building up over the exposed steel and bridging the lap to seal it completely.

Step 4: Quality Checks & Final Handover

Final handover on your Kent site includes colour-matched topcoats, a full inspection against specification and your 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.

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.
