Commercial Cut Edge Restoration

Cut Edge Restoration, Gutter Sealing & Roof Coating

Deteriorating cut edges, failing gutters, and ageing roof sheets are among the most common — and most overlooked — threats to commercial roofing. Left untreated, corroded edges allow water ingress that accelerates structural damage and leads to expensive re-roofing projects. DMC Facilities Management provides specialist cut edge restoration, gutter sealing, and protective roof coatings across the UK, using BBA-approved systems that extend your roof’s working life by up to 25 years at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Prevent Corrosion Spread

Unprotected cut edges on profiled metal sheets corrode rapidly once the factory coating breaks down. Our restoration treatments seal and encapsulate exposed edges with polymer hybrid systems — such as those developed by Giromax — that bond even to damp surfaces, stopping rust in its tracks and preventing further delamination across the sheet.

Extend Roof Lifespan

A full commercial roof replacement can cost tens of thousands of pounds and disrupt operations for weeks. Cut edge restoration and protective coatings add 15–25 years of serviceable life to existing roofing, using advanced formulations including graphene-enhanced coatings from manufacturers like Alltimes Coatings for superior durability and weather resistance.

Gutter Protection & Sealing

Corroded cut edges shed debris directly into guttering, causing blockages and overflow that damages walls, fascias, and foundations. We combine edge restoration with professional gutter sealing — repairing joints, seams, and outlets to create a watertight drainage system that channels water safely away from your building.

Significant Cost Savings

Cut edge restoration typically costs 50–80% less than re-roofing, with minimal disruption to your business. Most projects are completed without scaffolding using cherry pickers or rope access, and the work can usually be carried out while the building remains fully operational — no closures, no lost revenue.
