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

Cut edge corrosion treatment in Southampton 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 Southampton 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

Left alone, rust at the cut edges of Southampton 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

A degraded building envelope in Southampton is both a safety and an insurance concern. Treating cut edge corrosion promptly restores the integrity of the cladding and roof and protects everyone around the building.

Extends Asset Lifespan

Every year you add to your cladding is money saved. Cut edge corrosion treatment in Southampton extends the life of the sheeting by up to 15 years, backed by an Insurance Backed Guarantee.

Enhances Professional Appearance

Brown rust streaks make any Southampton 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

Why replace when you can treat? Cut edge corrosion treatment in Southampton delivers another 15 years of cladding life for a small fraction of the cost and disruption of replacement.

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.
