What Is Cut Edge Corrosion?

Cut edge corrosion usually starts to occur at the exposed edges of coated metal roofing sheets—usually where sheets are cut during installation. Over time, weather and UV exposure cause the protective coating to peel away, leading to rust, water ingress, and potentially costly structural damage.

It is important to treat the corroded sheet edges to stop further damage to your roof and water leaking through which would affect and damage the building interior, left untreated corrosion can spread weaking your roof.  Carrying out treatment will extend your roofs life and delay the need for a full roof replacement.

FAQs – Cut Edge Corrosion

What is cut edge corrosion on a commercial roof?

L
K
Cut edge corrosion occurs on metal roofing sheets where the protective coating has worn away, typically along exposed edges. Over time, this leads to rust forming, which can result in water ingress and further damage to your commercial or industrial building if it is not treated.

How do I know if my roof has cut edge corrosion?

L
K
Signs include visible rust along the edges of the roof sheets, peeling coatings, staining and early signs of water ingress. If you’re unsure, our team can carry out an inspection or drone survey to assess the condition of your roof and identify any corrosion issues.

Can cut edge corrosion be treated without replacing the roof?

L
K
Yes. In many cases, cut edge corrosion can be treated without the need for a full roof replacement. Targeted treatment can stop the corrosion spreading, restore protection and extend the lifespan of your existing commercial roofing system.

What happens if cut edge corrosion is left untreated?

L
K
If left untreated, corrosion can continue to spread across the roof sheets, weakening the structure and leading to leaks. This can cause damage to your stock, equipment and the internal areas of your building, often resulting in more costly repairs over time.
