WHAT IS CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENT?

Cut edge corrosion is one of the most common causes of cladding failure on Surrey industrial and commercial buildings. It occurs where the protective plastisol coating breaks down at the cut edges of steel sheets, exposing bare metal that rusts and lifts the surrounding coating. What begins as a brown streak soon spreads, weakening the sheet and threatening the integrity of the whole building envelope.

Our Surrey cut edge corrosion treatment arrests the rust, stabilises the steel and re-seals every edge using Tor Elastaseal Fibretex and Delcote Seamsil systems over a rust-inhibiting primer. Topcoats are colour-matched to your existing cladding for a seamless finish, and the work is backed by an Insurance Backed Guarantee of up to 15 years.

WHY CUT EDGE CORROSION TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL

Protects Surfaces from Corrosion & Wear

The danger with cut edge corrosion in Surrey is how fast it spreads. Our treatment halts the chemical process at source, treats the exposed metal and seals the edge so the damage stops where it is.

Improves Safety & Compliance

A degraded building envelope in Surrey 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 Surrey extends the life of the sheeting by up to 15 years, backed by an Insurance Backed Guarantee.

Enhances Professional Appearance

Nothing dates a Surrey building faster than rust-streaked cladding. Our treatment removes the streaks, re-establishes a sharp colour line and lifts the appearance of the whole property.

Cost-Effective Refurbishment

Replacing plastisol cladding is hugely expensive and disruptive. A specialist cut edge corrosion treatment in Surrey typically costs a small fraction of replacement, removes the need for scaffolded sheet replacement, and allows the building to remain fully operational.

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.

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.
