Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
