Tiles and Damp

[Basher]

Hi Lads, have any of you ever seen cracked tiles straight down the middle while on the wall and does any body know what could cause this? Working in a small bathroom and it is damp where the plaster can easily come off of the brickwork. I can tell that it used to be an outhouse and now it is an indoor bathroom with bad ventilation. I was just curious as to weather putting a vent like you would have on a tumble dryer would prevent damp re-occuring.
Any advice or thoughts would be most helpfull
thanks

As Chris says:RpS_thumbup:

Also - maybe this old outhouse has had a new concrete floor installed to bring it up to the height of the interior. The extra weight is causing a bit of movement, hence the cracked tiles.

Yep, agree with this, The crack in my bedroom has got a hundred times worse in the past year, due to subsidence in the new extension, can't wait to get out, obviously landlord doesn't give a ****...
