Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment Pontypridd
Cut edge corrosion starts when the factory finish stops — at cut edges, lap joints and around fixings. Once the coating lifts, steel oxidises and moisture tracks into the joint. We break that cycle with specification-driven prep, sealing and protective coatings.
Typical Signs You’ll See
- Lifting/feathered coating at edges and lap lines
- Rust streaks under joints or around bolt heads
- Pinholes and fine gaps along side laps
- Occasional ingress during wind-driven rain
Specification-Led Treatment
- Survey & Planning: Diagnose delamination, corrosion and moisture routes; confirm safe access and sequencing.
- Mechanical Preparation: Remove failed Plastisol/paint; treat corrosion; degrease to a sound edge.
- Priming: Apply compatible metal primers to stabilise prepared areas.
- Lap Sealing: Tool elastomeric sealant into side/end laps, penetrations and bolt heads to specified width/depth.
- Protective Coatings: Install UV-stable topcoats with returns beyond lap edges (typically ≥50 mm). QA and clean-down included.
Where section loss is advanced, selective sheet replacement may be advised after survey.
