Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment provides professional repair and protection of metal roof sheets suffering from edge deterioration across the UK. 

Our service includes cleaning, priming, sealing, and coating the cut edges of roof sheets to stop corrosion and prevent water ingress.

Because untreated cut edge corrosion leads to leaks, structural damage, and costly roof replacement, we use high-performance treatments to extend the lifespan of roofing systems.

What is Cut Edge Corrosion?

Cut edge corrosion is the deterioration of exposed metal edges on profiled roof sheets, typically caused by weather exposure.

It starts at the sheet edges, overlaps, and fixings, where the protective coating has been cut or damaged during installation.

Because the protective finish is compromised at these points, moisture and air cause the metal to corrode, leading to rust, delamination, and potential leaks. 

How is Cut Edge Corrosion Treated?

Treatment involves cleaning the affected areas, applying corrosion inhibitors, sealing joints, and coating the edges with a flexible, weather-resistant protective system. 

This seals the metal against further corrosion and prevents water from penetrating vulnerable areas.

How Much Does Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Cost?

Cut edge corrosion treatment costs between £30 and £60 per linear metre. 

The final price depends on the severity of corrosion, roof access, and total area to be treated.

Because each site varies, we provide free surveys and fixed-price quotes to ensure accurate, transparent costs for your specific project.

What Are the Benefits of Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment?

Treating corrosion protects your building, prevents costly damage, and extends the life of your roof system.

Key benefits include:

• Prevents Leaks – Seals exposed edges and fixings to stop water ingress.
• Extends Roof Lifespan – Slows deterioration and avoids premature roof replacement.
• Cost-Effective – Cheaper than replacing roof sheets or full re-roofing.
• Improves Appearance – Restores a clean, professional roof finish.
• Minimises Disruption – Quick application with minimal impact on-site operations.
• Weather Resistance – Creates a flexible, durable barrier against rain and UV.
• Compliance – Helps meet maintenance obligations for safety and insurance purposes.
• Increased Property Value – Maintained roofs preserve asset value and function.
• Fast Application – Most treatments are completed quickly, reducing downtime.
• Protects Structural Integrity – Prevents corrosion from spreading to fixings and supporting structures.
• Reduces Future Repair Costs – Early intervention prevents larger, more expensive issues.
• Sustainable Solution – Extends the use of existing materials, reducing waste from premature replacements.
• Suitable for Most Roofs – Can be applied to a wide range of metal roof systems, including older installations.

What Causes Cut Edge Corrosion?

Cut edge corrosion is caused by prolonged exposure to weather, particularly rain, wind, and temperature changes.

The issue often arises where the protective coating was cut during installation, leaving the metal vulnerable.

Because industrial roofs face constant environmental stress, untreated edges corrode faster, leading to widespread roof damage if not addressed promptly.

Can All Roofs Be Treated for Cut Edge Corrosion?

Most metal roofs suffering from cut edge corrosion can be treated.

This is provided the damage is not too advanced. 

If the sheet has extensive rust or perforation, replacement may be necessary. 

How Long Does Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Last?

Cut edge corrosion treatment lasts 10 to 15 years.

Duration depends on product type and environmental exposure. 

Regular roof inspections and maintenance help extend the life of the treatment and ensure continued protection.

Because treated surfaces are sealed and reinforced, they withstand weather and wear far better than untreated edges.

Do We Offer Warranties on Corrosion Treatment?

We offer warranties on all cut edge corrosion treatments.

Warranties range from 10 to 15 years, depending on the system applied. 

All work is completed to manufacturer specifications for full warranty coverage.

Because we stand behind the quality of our service, warranties provide peace of mind and long-term protection.

What are Signs of Cut Edge Corrosion?

Common signs include rust staining along sheet edges, peeling or flaking coatings, visible corrosion near fixings, and water ingress around overlaps. 

Because early-stage corrosion is less visible from the ground, regular inspections are recommended to detect issues before they worsen.

Do We Treat Corrosion in Difficult-to-Reach Areas?

We can access and treat cladding laps, gutter edges, roof fixings, and other hard-to-reach areas. 

Our team uses specialist equipment to ensure full coverage. 

Because corrosion often starts in these vulnerable points, comprehensive treatment prevents future damage.

What Products are Used for Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment?

Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment uses flexible polyurethane and silicone-based systems.

These high-performance coatings are specifically designed for cut edge corrosion treatment.

These products are weather-resistant, UV-stable, and designed to bond with metal surfaces. 

Is Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Disruptive?

Treatments are carried out with minimal disruption. 

We schedule work efficiently and safely around your operations, often with no need to halt activity inside the building. 

Because downtime can impact business, we prioritise fast, clean, and non-intrusive service.

Are Maintenance Plans for Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Available?

We offer maintenance plans, including routine roof inspections and preventative treatments. 

These help catch early signs of corrosion or wear, extending the life of your roof. 

Because regular maintenance reduces long-term repair costs, many clients opt for scheduled service.

Can Corrosion Treatment Be Done in Bad Weather?

Treatment requires dry conditions for correct adhesion and curing. 

We monitor weather forecasts and schedule work during suitable periods. 

Because proper application is essential for long-term performance, we ensure optimal conditions before proceeding.
