Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
