Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
