How do I render over a DPC (damp proof course)?
Bridging the DPC is just asking for problems (IMHO).

One possible solution might be:


Apply "External Bellcast Bead" just above the DPC (this will form a drip edge).
Apply "External Render Stop Bead" just below the DPC (this will allow you to render a plinth from just below external ground level, up to just below the DPC).


Such a method doesn't bridge the DPC.

Regardless of the rendering solution implemented you really need to address the high external ground level in relationship to the PDC. Personally if it was me, I would lower the paving so the top of paving is 150mm (min) below the DPC &amp; the paving falls away from the house (structure).
