Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
