Shields’ services include cladding coating and cleaning, floor and factory door painting, on-site spraying, flat roof and rooflight refurbishments, and gutter and fascia refurbishments. Shields is also able to provide preventative measures against cut-edge corrosion, which affects buildings that use corrugated steel or aluminium sheet cladding as a protective layer on their roofs. The area where the sheet overlaps is susceptible to regular weathering and over time can become vulnerable to oxidation, because the exposed edges do not have the same covering or protection as the rest of the cladding. The oxidation and exposure to other pollutants slowly eats away at the edges and causes increasing corrosion which, if left untreated, can cause leaks, compromise the roof integrity and destroy the weather-sealed lap joint. Cut-edge corrosion can be fixed relatively easily if caught early, and treatment of the corrosion can prolong the lifespan of the roof sheeting for over fifteen years.
