I want to apply a bitumen coat to the bottom 4" of the
walls of the brreze block shed I have had built recently.
The instructions on the wickes bitumen say there should be render
on the brickwork. Is this totally necessary?

Thanks.

Nope.

Bitumen onto breeze blocks worked for me. You might need to dilute it a bit
to get good penetration of the first coat.
Use water if you have bitumen emulsion or white spirit/paraffin/diesel for
genuine bitumen/tar depending on what you have to hand (don't use petrol!!)
