Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
