Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
