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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
