Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
