What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
