The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
