I posted the following thread in September about a rendering job on my house that didn't go to plan. Thanks for all the replies.

The trader kept to his promise to fix the problem but his preferred remedy left me a little unsure. Could anyone advise on whether the following is a effective fix for the crumbling render:
"we're going to wrap the render in a fibreglass meshing which will stabilise the old render then go over the top of it so no hacking off and less mess. So 1 day to bead up and mesh Apply scratch 1 day to top coat. 2 days between coats to allow to dry"
Is this the best solution?
NB. the terraced house was built around 1890 - the brickwork didn't look too great when the original render was hacked off
Many Thanks.
