Cut Edge Corrosion Roofing Repairs

Cut Edge Corrosion, providing a first class flat roofing service.

Cut edge corrosion is a problem that affects many metal profile roofs as they begin to age.

The problem starts with “edge peel,” which means that the original factory finish, which is usually Plastisol, begins to peel back from the metal surface at the end of the sheet that becomes the lap edge once the sheets are fitted.

Once the plastisol has delaminated the sheet end area becomes susceptible to rusting this then becomes the problem and lap edge treatment is necessary to prevent further damage. If left untreated the true cost of cut edge corrosion is potentially the need for replacement roof panels that can be quite costly especially if they are insulated composite panels .

However, if treated soon enough, the problem can be more manageable and cost effective also preventing further corrosion whilst leaving the roof water tight for years to come.
