thanks to all for your replies. @Brickie, if the pointing cracked due to the reason you mentioned, shall I just leave it and keep on eye on it?

Thanks. I suppose it is not subsidence, right? It's not diagonal and less than 1mm wide.

@joe90, thank you for your reply. Could it be due to something like thermal movement? Although I just found it, it could be there for a long time. We've lived in the house for 15 years.

only in pointing, not in bricks.

Hi all, I am glad that I've found this forum. My house is a detached built in the 90s with an integrated garage. I just found in the garage there is a long, vertical crack (from ceiling to the floor) in the pointing where the wall meets a column. It is circled in the photo. It's about 1mm or less in width in most places. It may be there for a long time. The other photo is from outside where I circled the approximate area, which looks fine. Is this something of concern or I am being paranoid? Many thanks for any advice.
