Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
