Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
