We're looking at buying a flat roof all concrete panel house.
Technically this is a Jespersen system 3M construction from maybe the 60s.
You can normally see the ceiling/roof panels in the rooms, unless they've been covered over.
In this particular end terrace house, there seems a bizarre (?) irregularity. Knock on some parts of the artex ceiling and it sounds hollow, knock on others and it's rock hard.
Looking through a hole in broken rotton artext in one bedroom, I can see part of one conrete panel, but next to it seems to be wood, instead of another concrete panel butting up against it side by side.
I knocked all around the rooms upstairs and there seems an obvious mix of either some panels having a board underneith, and others not. The only reason I can think of is that some of the concrete panels were misaligned by maybe up to 1cm higher (or lower) than the panel next to it. But could that really be a possibility in the design of such buildings?
