The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences.
