Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
