Rendering advice

[glen80]

Hi I was hoping someone could give me abit of helpful advice on the best way to prep this rendering job I've got to do in sand and cement. Ill be
honest I mainly just stick to internal work and get other people to do outsides but thought this ones not a big job. It needs a flat sand and cement finish which I can do but only ever really gone over new bricks.

My question is would you just give the wall a good wet down before scratch coat or would you do a
Sbr slurry? Also would you use eml over this as brickwork in places isn't great?

Cheers

Sbr slurry, scratch coat with mesh in, topcaot

When doing sbr slurry does it need to be wet when render goes on it? Does it definitely need eml on it cud the builder I'm doing it for thinks different on that!

The first thing it wants is a fungicidal wash.

It's been cleaned up looks a lot better then that now

The first thing it wants is a fungicidal wash.

Any loose flaky bits of brick and mortar should be removed and a good clean down done first before anything else.

That's a nice little job to start with, at least it ain't someone's house.

I would sbr slurry but put fibres in it

Spatterdash with sharp sand/ cement 2:1 with sbr in the mix put 2 litres of sbr I'm a mix then slurry up with water . Scratch coat 3 sand in 15litre buckets 10 litre bucket of cement 5 litre bucket of hydrated lime and a baked bean / soup can full of sovereign rendermix oh and 1 of the sand should be sharp use the same mix and knock the sharp out in the top coat use freeflo in top coat if needed to give you a bit more time . This mix will not crack
