What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
