Corroserve

What Corroserve does

Corroserve is an industrial services company headquartered in Leeds, United Kingdom, specializing in corrosion protection and mechanical engineering services for heavy industrial equipment. Founded in 1974 as part of what is now the Corrosioneering Group, the company delivers coating application, equipment refurbishment, and repair services across multiple sectors including power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, marine, water and waste treatment, energy from waste, hydrogen production, and carbon capture. Corroserve operates as the service-application arm of a three-brand group structure alongside sister company Corrocoat (specialist coatings manufacturing) and Corrolabs (research and development), enabling vertical integration from coating chemistry through on-site application.

The company's technical offering centers on proprietary coating systems developed since 1974, including the Corroglass 600 Series (glass flake coatings), Fluiglide (friction-reducing energy-efficient coating delivering 4-5% pump efficiency gains), Polyglass VEF (vinyl ester glassflake coating), Plasmet HTE (chemical-resistant epoxy screed), and Biofoul (TBT-free anti-fouling coating). Services span the full asset lifecycle including abrasive blasting, valve repair and manufacture (including large-bore butterfly valves up to 1600mm NB), pump refurbishment, pipe lining and reinforcement, tank refurbishment, condenser tube cleaning, concrete corrosion protection, and third-party inspection via NACE/ICorr qualified inspectors. The Thermodynamic Pump Monitoring (TPM) service provides efficiency analytics based on first-law thermodynamic calculations. The company holds the ISO Triple Crown (9001:2015, 14001:2015, 45001:2018) alongside Norsok, AMPP, Achilles FPAL, iCorr, and Network Rail accreditations, supporting eligibility for safety-critical tenders.

Corroserve operates an enterprise B2B field sales model with a UK-based on-site service team, a Leeds workshop facility, and an international partner network (including Al Huda in Qatar and Corrotech in Czech Republic) serving 30 locations across five continents. Revenue is generated through bespoke, quote-based project contracts for coating application and equipment refurbishment, with named enterprise and government customers including SSE (Peterhead Power Station), Centrica, UK Nuclear Power Station, the UK Ministry of Defence, NERC/British Antarctic Survey (RRS Sir David Attenborough), and major utilities companies. The company employs 11-50 staff at the Corroserve division level and is privately held within the Corrosioneering Group with no disclosed external institutional investment.
