BTW anybody heard of an alternative to render one builder is proposing to
us?
I think the only long term solution is to have a membrane fixed to the wall
which is then rendered. This allows a flow of air behind it and is in effect
independent of the building itself.
The usual hack off and re-render will almost certainly take you back to
square one in a few years time, especially if the mortar between the bricks
is not replaced.
