The smart thing - if you're really worried - would be for you to engage a suitably-qualified structural engineer/architect - I'm sure RIBA could recommend one - and get him/her to provide a written report/advisory.

Having - by this posting - demonstrated that you have 'concerns' about the issue - if they remain unaddressed and a subsequent failure were to happen, your property-insurers may be disinclined to pay-out. £500 for an architectural/structural report is cheap, all things considered.

[In times-past I witnessed units of a multi-million-pound supercomputer wheeled across a distinctly-incomplete false-floor. There was much wobbling, and quietly-uttered oaths in multiple European languages].
