The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
