Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences.
