Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
