What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
