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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
