cheer for the info mate .will try and hack off hardwall at the weekend .should have trusted my instinct in the first place and used sand/cement .nevermind its all a learning curve.cheers mate.ps cant use dot and dab only have 10mm from wall to existing render line
 
Can't speak for Everbuilds own brand. I'd only use Bal SBR. May want to ask around. If you have only got 10mm, I'd use a bonding to bring it out & use a finishing plaster. Other option would be to use 10mm hardi-backer & bed onto tile adhesive (cement based). Guidelines below:

8. 1. Installation on brick walls
8.1.1 Preparing the substrate
Ensure wall is sound, clean and ready to receive HardieBacker®
250 cement board. At minimum, the rear of HardieBacker® 250
cement board and the masonry wall must be wiped down to
remove all dust.
8.1.2. Fixing sheets with tile adhesive, step 1
Bond HardieBacker® 250 cement board to the masonry walling
using tile adhesive. Apply tile adhesive to masonry walls using a
6mm notched trowel. The tile adhesive must fully support HardieBacker
® 250 cement board and the HardieBacker® 250 cement
board is firmly pressed into the tile adhesive.
8.1.3 Fixing sheets with masonry anchors, step 2
Use 9 pcs (3 rows of 3) ø 6mm x 50 mm masonry anchors with
self embedding head. The masonry anchors are immediately
fixed through the board into the masonry walls holding the
sheeting in place. Do not overdrive head of anchor, it must be
flush with face of HardieBacker® 250 cement board.

Note: Do not dot and dab tile adhesive!
