Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
