Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
