Corroless Eastern

What Corroless Eastern does

Corroless Eastern is a UK-based industrial coatings and linings specialist founded in 1992 by Andy Hunt and incorporated in 2001. The company operates as a sole proprietorship under the trading name "Andy Hunt trading as Corroless Eastern," headquartered in Dereham, Norfolk, with services delivered nationwide across the UK. Its core business comprises two interconnected divisions: a contracting arm executing specialist coating applications (tank linings, protective coatings, resin flooring, polyurea, waterproofing, and liquid roofing), and a product sales division serving as the long-standing independently owned distributor of the Corroless range of rust stabilising primers, reinforced finishes, and corrosion inhibitors. The customer base spans water treatment utilities, food processing facilities, anaerobic digestion operators, healthcare (NHS), heritage/railway, and general industrial manufacturing.

The technical platform is centred on surface preparation and coating application across multiple substrates (steel, concrete, GRP, glass fused to steel, HDPE). Owned capital assets include four polyurea application units, an ultra-high pressure water jetting unit operating at up to 40,000 psi, and low-dust sponge blasting equipment for sensitive environments. The workforce includes five Institute of Corrosion trained paint inspectors and an in-house Industrial Coating Applicator Training Scheme (ICATS) Trainer, supporting qualification for regulated work such as DWI Regulation 31 potable water linings and anaerobic digester infrastructure. A multi-supplier partner ecosystem provides access to specialist chemistries from Sherwin Williams, Remmers, Raven Lining Systems, Chemco International, Acothane UK, SPI, and Oxford Advanced Surfaces.

The business model is project-based specialist contracting combined with product distribution. Pricing is quote-driven with no public list rates; customer engagement flows through direct B2B field sales, engineer and specifier relationships, an extensive case-study-driven website, and repeat business from established clients. Revenue is generated from labour, equipment, and application expertise on per-project contracts, supplemented by Corroless product sales. The company holds Achilles UDVB, Constructionline Gold, SafeContractor, and UKAS ISO9001 accreditations, supporting pre-qualification for public sector and utility procurement frameworks.
