Cracked bricks
There are a couple of cracked bricks on the side wall of my home. They're not connected in one line, so I don't think it's due to movement. What could be the cause?

"Hi there, the possible cause could be corroded wall ties, when wall ties corrode they expand and can cause cracking to mortar joints and or bricks.

"It could simply be down to getting weathered. Get them repointed so as not to cause any damage to the bricks or the interior"
