Thorough Building Inspections Kelburn

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
