Rust repairs

Metal roofs are strong and hard-wearing, but it doesn’t mean they don’t take a battering through the year, especially during the colder months. Rain, wind, snow and dirt all slowly eat away at the original coating and protection metal roof sheets start out with.

Rust and corrosion can start small, but can quickly spread causing cracks, holes and leaks in your roof. After years of damage, dealing with rust on roofs is a major priority to save yourself even more time and money in the future. In a worst-case scenario, full roofing systems having to be replaced.

Any sign of rust means the metal roof’s protective coating has failed. You may think your roof has corrosion protection from being either galvanised or painted, but these layers of coating only slow down what is inevitable. Zinc oxide slowly washes away in the rain, and paint is vulnerable to the moisture and contaminants also.

What to Do When Your Roof is Rusting?

• Remove as Much Rust as You Can
• Protect from Further Rust with an Impenetrable Coating
• Upkeep with Regular Maintenance
