Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
