Hairline cracks following repointing

[lockdown1234]

Hello,

I had a wall on my house repointed back at the start of January. Given that there's not much else to do I was having a good look at it today and noticed a small amount of hairline cracking.

Is this normal? I figured it might be due to the hot weather or something but it would be good to put my mind at rest.

I think it's related to it being a crap job.

Too strong a mix, wall not damped/damped enough, badly filled, poorly ironed and smudged all over the place for good measure.

And on the plus side?

Thanks for the response. I guess I was concerned it was some kind of movement as that's the standard paranoid reaction. Glad to hear it doesn't look like that.

On the plus side ..... no it's not structural movement.
