The rougher the brick face the better the key for render, it will not blow the bricks apart if that's what your thinking.

Start with a needle gun and remove all the old paint

DIYnewbee99, Do you know how to mix s/c to the right texture for rendering or even brick laying ? as getting your mix right is hardest part, applying it is much the same as any backing plaster, You might use pva on the joint line of the old plaster, you would be better off if you used a...

Best I can think of is paint the backs with Synthaproof, available from most good builders merchants it is the modern equivalent of cold tar.

screw up sheets of expanding metal rib lath.

Just what I was thinking rc.

Nice one, alls fine then on the jesteh front then, :lol: thank you for the update.

:lol: :lol: laughing so hard I've got tears, well at least your honest.

Any light weight block is a pig for shrinking and cracking, they can be float and set with either but if the blocks crack then it will crack the finish plaster. I wouldn't like to guess which is best at your expense, sorry.

Broad leaves of green, red stems it sprout, you cover in winter, and weeds it shades out.

Rendering my walls true or flat if you like let me skim the adhesive on to the insulated board so its stuck flat and not on dabs, then fixed with screws, this does give a much better soiled sound when knocked.

In your other post you say you are having your cavity walls filled this maybe enough to satisfy B/C as you have upped the insulation value of your walls. I agree with Micilin on this, ((It's not really his job to be aware of all the regs) (the onus is on the client to do this.)) be it private...

Its fine, he's brought the wood lintel out flush with the brickwork ready for a float coat and he's lowered the head to give you an even window frame, looks like you're got a good plasterer who knows what he's doing.

You'll have to post a picture on this one, unless rc can knows what your describing.
