We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
