Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
