Just looked at a rendering job where the customer is adamant he wants the wall meshed before the render is applied due to his concern that the brick faces are very smooth. Now i usually bed mesh in to the scratch with all my render systems but have never applied the mesh directly to the wall prior to the scratch....So firstly is this really necessary??...secondly what type of mesh is used and fixings (presume its the mechanically fixed big plastic washers??)...thirdly what benefits does this have over simply skutching it up to provide more of a key, or even applying a bonding ajent (if there are any recommended for external uses)....finally can anyone recommend a good supplier for the mesh and fixings??

Thanks for the Kinks video Gibbo. Reminded me of my holidays in Skegness when I was was a nipper. That was before they discovered Majorca and invented the jet airliner. Turbo props back then, converted Dakota's. Couldn't fly to Spain without a refuel in France. I went to see the Kinks when I was 15 at Sheffield University student union hall but they never turned up, van broke down. Shame.
As for the OP, yes I think he means expanded metal lathing. A bit out of date compared to sbr and mesh or rend-aid and mesh. Some customers only know the old ways but if that is what he wants then let him have it if it makes him more confident.

In a perfect world you'd knock the building down and start again! In the real world though to have such a purist blinkered view of this lime nonsense is daft. Have or do you ever see lime render on the back of these terraces these days. No. Why? Because its prohibitively expensive, takes an age to set, and the less than perfect finish for all the outlay and headaches probably isn't what most people want anyway.
Now there's nothing wrong with lime or the specialist old techniques needed to apply it but IMO he's surely going to lose the job to someone far cheaper. Better to suggest a modern breathable system which would perform and be affordable. Better still with solid brickwork like that an insulated system should be a priority.
Sorry mr render nothing against you or your talents, but peddling lime like a religion without considering the bigger picture is a tad shortsighted and reserved really for one off econut houses with limitless time and budgets and for conservation work.
