Top4719 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Looks like you've got a hairline crack down the brickwork possibly due to a bit of subsisdence, if you repoint it and it happens again a brick stitching kit with helical bars might be worth considering.

I also think there has been some slight movement after looking at the picture, I had similar on my last house but after 8 years it didn’t re appear so like you said might be worth just keeping an eye on it..
