Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
