Hey,

So which of these years are more likely to have been built with materials listed below:

Years: 1900 1930 1950 1970 1980 1990 2000

Materials
225mm Solid Brick
325mm Solid Brick
300mm Cavity
300mm Filled Cavity
Solid Mass Concrete
Concrete Hollow Blocks

additionally, if anyone has an idea of the average roof area for a detached, semi-detached and terraced house - a rough estimate is grand would also be of great help!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
