Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
