What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
