Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment North Ayrshire

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.
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

- Survey: We check delamination, rust spots and any signs of water tracking.
- Prep: Remove failed coating, treat corrosion and degrease for a sound edge.
- Prime: Apply a compatible metal primer to lock down and promote adhesion.
- Seal: Tool elastomeric sealant into side/end laps, bolt heads and penetrations.
- 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.
