Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
