What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
