situation: old coal hole and outside toilet, rear of trad. edwardian red brick terrace.

problem: unevenly jointed brickwork, solid but looks terrible, needs either
rendering / pebbledashing / rough casting.

question: can anyone see any major no no's in using aquapanel to cover the
brickwork and then a coating of artex Hyclad or similar Weathertex type coating ?

I'm sure there are modern, standard practices and materials for exterior cladding
other than rendering, something I'm a bit daunted by having never done more than
patching with plaster, but I can't find ay information on the web, probably because I
don't know what I'm looking for. catch 22 !

one of the main reasons I'd like to clad the walls, apart from simplicity, is the silicone
DPC, if I render, I either have to bridge the DPC (obviously asking for trouble later)
or have the render 'floating' an unacceptable height from the floor.

any tips, pointers or clues greatly appreciated

Why not use plastic or timber cladding?
