The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
