Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
