Sites and facades in and around Nursted
Central London is about 50 miles from Nursted. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Nursted included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
School extensions, at buildings such as The Petersfield School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Hotels like The Red Lion Hotel, 1.5 miles north-west of Nursted, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Nursted is about 2 miles south-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Nursted, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 723 places in Hampshire. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, roughly 14 miles from Nursted.
Commercial sites across GU31 are covered for facade joints. Just outside Nursted, we also work in Buriton (2 miles west), Weston (2 miles west), Ramsdean (3 miles west), Chalton (4 miles south-west) and West Marden (5 miles south). Bigger towns within reach include Havant (9 miles south), Fareham (15 miles south-west), Horndean (7 miles south-west), Alton (12 miles north), Waterlooville (9 miles south-west) and Purbrook (10 miles south-west).
Local landmarks in Nursted
Nursted’s nearest station is Petersfield station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Clanfield Earthwork (3.8 miles south-west) and Petersfield Community Hospital (1.7 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Oakham Hill and Liss Riverside Railway Walk South.
Facade sealing in Nursted
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you are dealing with damp patches beside frames after rain and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Nursted start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Nursted is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; note where they appear.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Nursted: questions and answers
Is Nursted too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Petersfield Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Will rain stop the work?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Nursted are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
Quoting for work in Nursted
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

What else we do in Nursted
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Nursted, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why us?
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

What we are called out for in Nursted
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and the joint opens with the first real movement.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Petersfield Hospital, 1.7 miles to the north-west of Nursted, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
