There is a row of tiles (1 tile high) behind my kitchen sink. Recently I noticed one or two of them were separating from the wall slightly. This continued to happen over the next few days until about 5 of them literally fell off. I checked behind the missing tiles and the wall appears fine – no moisture or mould, just bare bricks.
I've only owned the place for about a year, but judging from the design of the kitchen the tiles are probably 20+ years old.
Would anyone know what could have caused this?

Tiles that were attached with a substandard, incorrect, or poorly prepared adhesive and/or were bonded to an improper surface or a surface that was not properly prepared, will tend to release over time. Especially in areas where water is present.
