Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Barnsbury
Cut edge corrosion starts where factory coatings end — at cut edges, side/end laps and around fixings. UV and weathering lift the finish, exposing steel and allowing moisture to track into joints. Left alone, this leads to staining, leaks and premature sheet replacement.
Signs Your Building Needs Edge Repair
- Feathered or lifting coatings at lap lines and edges
- Rust streaks beneath joints or around bolt heads
- Hairline gaps, pinholes or damp insulation under laps
- Occasional water ingress during wind-driven rain
Our Cut Edge Corrosion Repair Process
- Inspection & Planning: Diagnose delamination and corrosion; confirm access, sequencing and safety.
- Mechanical Prep: Remove failed Plastisol/paint; treat rust; degrease to a sound metal edge.
- Priming: Apply compatible metal primers to stabilise edges and prepared areas.
- Lap Sealing: Tool elastomeric sealant into side/end laps, bolt heads and penetrations to specified depth/width.
- Protective Coatings: Install UV-stable topcoats with returns beyond lap edges (typically ≥50 mm); QA and clean-down.
Where advanced steel loss exists, selective sheet replacement may be recommended following survey.
