Cut edge corrosion treatment project in Giffnock
Edges and laps cleaned, sealed and coated for a reliable, neat finish.

Cut edge corrosion is simply where the factory coating stops and the weather sneaks in — at cut edges, lap joints or around fixings. Once the coating lifts, rust and leaks tend to follow. We make it straightforward: stabilise the edge, seal the paths and protect the area with the right coatings.

Recent project in Giffnock: Showroom — Lap Refresh — side laps; bolt heads; night works. Outcome: watertight joints; uniform colour.

What You Might Notice

  • Peeling or feathered paint at lap lines
  • Orange staining under joints or around bolts
  • Fine gaps or pinholes along side laps
  • Occasional drips during wind-driven rain

How We Fix It

Lap sealing and protective coating application in Giffnock
Specified seal widths and returns for a neat, durable job.
  1. Survey: We check delamination, rust spots and any signs of water tracking.
  2. Prep: Remove failed coating, treat corrosion and degrease for a sound edge.
  3. Prime: Apply a compatible metal primer to lock down and promote adhesion.
  4. Seal: Tool elastomeric sealant into side/end laps, bolt heads and penetrations.
  5. Protect: Apply UV-stable coatings with a return beyond the lap (typically ≥50 mm). QA and clean-down included.

If the steel has lost section, we’ll advise on local sheet replacement after survey.

Cut Edge Corrosion — FAQs

It starts where the factory coating ends at cut edges, laps or fixings. UV and weather lift the finish; exposed steel oxidises and moisture tracks into joints, accelerating corrosion.
