Why Develux is different

We don't paint over problems. We solve them.

Most coatings fail because of what's underneath them. Mill scale that wasn't removed. Cut-edge corrosion that was painted over. Powder coating that wasn't profiled. Failed substrate adhesion no topcoat can rescue.

At Develux we specify systems substrate-up. Laser cleaning, sandblasting, or mechanical preparation matched to the material. Primer, intermediate, and topcoat from TOR Coatings or HD Sharman. Documented dry film thickness. And a manufacturer-backed warranty that's enforceable because we followed the specification.

✓ Full surface preparation to ISO 8501 standards
✓ System-based coatings, not paint by the litre
✓ Manufacturer-backed warranties 5-50 years
✓ One contractor end-to-end. No subcontracted prep.

What we do

Three services. One specification. One warranty.

Cut Edge Corrosion Treatment

Cut edge corrosion treatment seals rust spreading from the cut edges of profiled metal roof sheets, using HD Sharman Seamsil and Delcote systems to restore weatherproofing and extend roof life by 20+ years at a fraction of replacement cost.

Get a Quote

The problem

What cut edge corrosion is

Profiled metal roof and cladding sheets have a factory-applied coating system. When sheets are cut to size during installation, the cut edges expose bare metal underneath. Over 10-20 years, weather attacks these edges, rust spreads, capillary action draws water into laps, and the entire roof eventually fails.

Treated early, cut edge corrosion is reversed. Left untreated, it forces a full roof replacement at 5-10x the cost.

FAQ

Cut edge corrosion FAQs

What is cut edge corrosion?

Cut edge corrosion is rust that starts at the exposed cut edges of profiled metal roof and cladding sheets, where the factory coating ends. Weather attacks the bare metal, rust spreads under the coating, and capillary action draws water into laps until the roof eventually fails.

How much does cut edge corrosion treatment cost?

Treatment typically runs £14–£22/m² for materials supply only, £28–£42/m² installed with a 15-year warranty, and £40–£90/m² installed for premium systems with a 20–25 year manufacturer-backed warranty.

How long does treatment last?

Manufacturer-backed cut edge systems from HD Sharman are warranted for 15 to 25 years when applied to a properly prepared substrate by an approved applicator.

Can cut edge corrosion be reversed?

Yes, if it is caught before the substrate is structurally compromised. Loose rust is removed, a converter is applied, edges and laps are sealed, and a protective topcoat is applied. Severely degraded sheets need replacement before the system is applied.

What systems do you use?

Primarily HD Sharman Seamsil for cut edges and laps, HD Sharman Delcote for full roof restoration, and HD Sharman Plygene for gutter lining. All applied as an approved HD Sharman applicator.

FAQ

Protective coatings FAQs

What's the difference between paint and a protective coating?

Paint is decorative — it changes how a surface looks. A protective coating is an engineered system (primer, intermediate, topcoat) specified by the manufacturer to protect a substrate from corrosion, abrasion, fire or chemical attack for a defined service life, with a written warranty backing it.

How long do protective coatings last?

Service life depends on the substrate and system. Industrial steel systems are typically warranted 15–25 years, gutter linings 25–50 years, intumescent fire protection 15+ years, and balcony deck systems 10–15 years.

What manufacturers do you use?

Develux is an approved applicator for TOR Coatings and HD Sharman, and applies systems from Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine and other leading specialist manufacturers where the specification calls for them.

Can you provide warranties?

Yes — genuine manufacturer-backed warranties, not contractor-only guarantees. Warranty length depends on the system specified, the substrate condition and the documented preparation grade. Issued with the project sign-off pack.

What substrates do you coat?

Structural steel, profiled metal cladding and roofs, fire doors and roller shutters, loading bays, gutters, balcony decks, heritage metalwork, masonry and timber. Each substrate gets a system matched to its environment and expected service life.

Service 04

Surface Preparation. Done Properly.

Industrial surface preparation by Develux covers abrasive blasting, laser cleaning, mechanical preparation, Peelaway chemical stripping and infrared paint removal, delivered to ISO 8501 cleanliness grades so manufacturer-backed coating warranties remain enforceable.

Get a Quote

Our preparation methods

Six methods. Right one for the substrate.

Laser Cleaning

Non-abrasive, chemical-free. Removes rust, paint, oil, grease from metal, stone, and masonry. Heritage-safe and occupied-building-friendly.

Sandblasting

For heavy corrosion and structural steel preparation. Documented to ISO 8501 Sa 2.5 or Sa 3 cleanliness grades.

Mechanical Preparation

Grinding, sanding, stripping. Controlled, low-impact work for sensitive environments.

Peelaway Systems

Safe chemical paint removal from heritage substrates. No abrasive, no airborne dust.

Infrared Heat

Controlled paint removal using infrared. Used on period properties and listed work.

Timber Restoration

Epoxy resin repair systems for damaged or rotten timber elements.

Which method, which substrate?

Substrate	Recommended method
New mild steel	Sandblasting (Sa 2.5)
Painted cladding	Pressure wash + mechanical
Heritage metalwork	Laser cleaning
Listed building stone	Laser cleaning
Period ironwork	Peelaway or laser
Occupied premises	Laser or infrared
Rotten timber	Epoxy resin repair

Why preparation determines warranty

Every manufacturer-backed warranty depends on the substrate being prepared to a specified cleanliness grade before coating. Sa 2.5 for steel. Sound substrate for masonry. Properly profiled metal for adhesion.

Painters skip this because it's expensive and time-consuming. We don't, because skipping it means the warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Every preparation method we use is documented. ISO 8501 grades photographed. Substrate conditions logged. This is what makes the system warrantable.

FAQ

Surface preparation FAQs

Why is surface preparation important?

Around 80% of coating failures originate in surface preparation, not the coating itself. Every manufacturer-backed warranty requires the substrate to be prepared to a specified cleanliness grade — ISO 8501 Sa 2.5 for steel, sound substrate for masonry — before any coating is applied. Skip the preparation and the warranty is void.

What is laser cleaning?

Laser cleaning is a non-abrasive, chemical-free preparation method that removes rust, paint, oil and contamination from metal, stone and masonry using a controlled laser beam. It produces no airborne dust and no waste media, which makes it ideal for heritage substrates, listed buildings and occupied premises.

When should sandblasting be used?

Sandblasting is the standard preparation method for heavy corrosion and new structural steel, where ISO 8501 Sa 2.5 or Sa 3 cleanliness is required for a manufacturer-backed coating system. It's not appropriate for heritage stone, period ironwork or occupied buildings where dust control is a constraint.

How do you prepare for heritage work?

For listed buildings and heritage substrates we use laser cleaning, Peelaway chemical systems or controlled infrared heat — all non-abrasive methods that protect the original substrate. Method is selected per element and documented before any coating is applied.

Why laser matters for heritage

Sandblasting and chemical strippers cause damage that can't be undone on listed and period substrates. Laser cleaning removes paint, rust, and contamination without touching the original fabric underneath.

It's also non-abrasive, chemical-free, and quiet, important on occupied properties and in residential areas.

This capability is rare in the Midlands. Most contractors outsource laser work or refuse it. We do it in-house.

About Develux

Specialist contractor in protective coatings and surface preparation.

Develux Ltd is a Northampton-based specialist contractor in protective coatings, cladding spraying and surface preparation, founded and led by Ghennadi Catansus. TOR Coatings and HD Sharman approved applicator, CHAS Gold accredited, working across the Midlands.

Our story

Develux Ltd was founded to do protective coatings properly. The industry is full of painters describing themselves as coatings contractors, but actual coating work requires manufacturer approval, documented preparation methods, and the discipline to walk away from work where standards can't be met.

Founded and led by Ghennadi Catansus, the company has built relationships with TOR Coatings and HD Sharman, two of the UK's leading specialist manufacturers, and holds CHAS Gold accreditation, the gold-standard supply-chain qualification for the construction industry.

We work primarily across the Midlands, with capacity for nationwide work on specialist industrial projects.

Founder

Ghennadi Catansus — Founder, Develux Ltd

Ghennadi Catansus founded Develux Ltd to deliver protective coatings work to manufacturer specification, not to decorator standards. He leads every site survey, signs off every written specification, and is personally accountable for the warranty on every project the company issues.

His background is on the tools — applying coating systems on industrial buildings, listed metalwork, and high-value residential properties across the Midlands — before building Develux into a manufacturer-approved contractor.

What we don't do

Being clear about scope is part of doing the work properly.

Paint vs Coating

Why Develux isn't a painter.

The difference between repainting in 3 years and protecting an asset for 25. There's a 40-year cost gap between those two outcomes.

Paint vs. Coating System

Every line in this table is documented in writing on every project we deliver.

Attribute	Painter's quote	Develux system
Film thickness	2-5 mils	10-40+ mils
Surface preparation	Optional / light wash	Mandatory, documented to ISO 8501
Warranty	Workmanship only	Manufacturer-backed, 5-50 years
Chemical resistance	Low	Engineered to environment
Substrate match	Generic	Specified per asset
Documentation	Invoice	Spec + DFT log + warranty cert
20-year cost (estimated)	3× repaint cycle	1 system + 1 reseal

Why preparation matters more than paint

80% of coating failures originate at the substrate, not the coat. Adhesion failures. Substrate corrosion. Improper cleanliness grades. Failed primer bonding.

A painter applies film on top of whatever's there. We strip the substrate down properly, neutralise corrosion, profile the surface, and only then apply primer.

This is why our warranties hold and theirs don't.

Real cost over time

£15/m² painter quote repainted every 4 years over 20 years = £75/m² + 5 disruptions.

£45/m² Develux system warranted for 20 years = £45/m² + 1 disruption.

Even before the disruption cost, the system is 40% cheaper over the asset life. Including disruption, the gap is much larger.

Does the warranty transfer on sale?

Yes. All Develux-issued warranties are tied to the asset, not the owner. When the building is sold or leased, the warranty transfers to the new owner provided maintenance has been followed.

This is one of the practical reasons facilities managers and property owners value our work, it adds to asset valuation.
