Today I say this one a new build.

Nice white "silicone" hidden by the fall pipe - why not use a brown silicone



And it looks like the person that actually fitted it used his knob for the final finish

What was the width of wall either side of the gap?

No idea. But I know that I am back there on Monday and I can do some measurements.

It's a five property town house building, all are five properties are identical (2 bedrooms and IMHO not much more than a double storey garage). I believe the expansion strip was between plots 2 and 3.

I didn't mean that precise, just is it a house cut in two, or half a dozen terraced houses either side ...

The brick development association quote PD6697 as stating the maximum distance between expansion joints is 12m, so presumably less than 5m wide per property?

Yep
