What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
