render cracks cracking shakes

whats the best mix for rendering? How to prepare the walls? Do you art waterproofed in scratch coat then just plasticiser in top coat? Just like to no which is the best way to do this from start to finish to help let render breath and not let no water come through/cause damp/ crack. I know...

Hi, Apologies if this is not the correct place to post this. I have a 1970s house with upvc cladding which I was hoping to have ripped off and rendered. However the house backs onto a main road (it's just the front we want rendered) and the house does shake a fair bit. Is there any point on us...
