Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing.
