The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
