Got some of these bricks replaced, so looks better. But yeah, now you deal with fun re. Different colour mortar joints. Had this when we were first looking to purchase almost a year ago, but they seemed to have weathered and been OK. QQ - any ideas what this "sheen" is?

Interesting. I will need to find out what make of brick they are and see if a colour match is available but could well be a good option.

Thank you. So options really are I suppose is to leave them and fingers crossed they don't get worse through house settlement / winters and summers through natural shrinkage or to get them replaced but know it'll look worse. Is that because of new mortar joints in place that won't entirely...

Hmm, okay. I did think that the bricks would of been like that at the time of fitting, and heard alot about brickie and good trades that they'll literally use anything that they find. Just a shame really. Nothing can ever be perfect.

Not quite half a dozen. I would easily say between 70-100 bricks with a slit or multiple slots in across a 4 bed + double garage..

Thanks for the feedback. Correct I believe the cracks were there when we bought the house just over a month ago, but looking at it a little bit more, we never spotted these prior. Is it worth to ignore them or get them replaced?

Hi, Recently purchased a new build and across the house there are many slits in the brick face, not too happy about it as one of the reasons to buy these type of houses can be down to the kerb appeal, but to then look deeper find slits, I'm not sure if it's serious or not?
