Cut Edge Corrosion

Professional Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment for Commercial and Industrial Roofs

At Total Cladding and Roofing, we specialise in the prevention and treatment of cut edge corrosion on metal-clad and profiled steel roofing systems. This common issue affects thousands of commercial and industrial buildings across the UK, particularly those with ageing plastisol-coated steel sheet roofs.

Cut edge corrosion occurs when the protective factory coating breaks down at the edges of metal sheets — usually where they have been cut, overlapped, or exposed to the elements. Left untreated, the corrosion spreads beneath the coating, leading to leaks, compromised roof integrity, and costly replacements. Our expert treatment services provide a cost-effective solution to extend the lifespan of your roof by up to 15–20 years.

Why Cut Edge Corrosion Needs Treatment

• Prevents Roof Leaks – Stops water ingress at sheet laps and fixings.

• Avoids Costly Replacements – Treatment is a fraction of the cost of re-roofing.

• Restores Weatherproofing – Protects vulnerable areas from further degradation.

• Extends Roof Lifespan – Adds years of service life to ageing roof sheets.

• Improves Appearance – Restores the clean, professional look of your roof.

Our Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Services

Inspection and Survey

We carry out a thorough roof survey to assess the extent of cut edge corrosion, identifying vulnerable sheet edges, overlaps, and fixings.

Preparation and Cleaning

All affected areas are cleaned, prepared, and stripped of loose or flaking coating to ensure a solid base for treatment.

Corrosion Inhibitor Application

Specialist primers and inhibitors are applied to stabilise and seal the corroded areas, halting further deterioration.

Protective Coatings

We apply high-performance elastomeric coatings designed specifically for cut edge protection. These remain flexible, UV-stable, and weather-resistant to provide long-term performance.

Full Lap Encapsulation (Optional)

Where corrosion is widespread, we can fully encapsulate sheet laps to create a watertight seal, preventing moisture ingress and improving thermal performance.
