Hi,
I have been in our new build property for approximately 6 months (first people to live in) and it’s probably been standing around 18 months.
When we first arrived, there was a couple of vertical mortar joints that needed filling but since we have been here noticed in particular one side of the house on the damp proof course seems to be deteriorating.
Firstly it seemed to be the tops of the vertical joints breaking away in the top corners but now there’s seems to be little splits in the horizontal bits.
I am waiting for the builder to come back to me but wondered if anyone could advise likely reasons why this is happening.
