Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
