What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
