Radon Gas Testing & Mitigation for Homes & Workplaces
RADON SURVEYS FOR HOMES & WORKPLACES
Once a radon survey has been carried out and the results show where levels are elevated, the right mitigation measures can be designed and installed with confidence. A structured programme of surveying and re-testing ensures your property remains compliant and that radon levels stay as low as reasonably practicable over the long term.
RADON SURVEYS
Why a professional radon survey matters:
A radon survey identifies where radon is entering the building and how it behaves across different rooms and floor levels over time. This information is essential for planning effective mitigation such as radon sumps, fans or increased ventilation, and for meeting health and safety duties in homes and workplaces.
What’s included in a radon survey:
A Radon Protection UK Surveyor will attend site and carry out a visual inspection of the property layout, construction type and ventilation routes.
-
Place or review radon detectors in key locations, focusing on ground floor and below-ground areas.
-
Assess existing radon or ventilation systems and any obvious routes for gas entry.
-
Check for signs of damp, poor ventilation or blocked vents that may affect radon levels.
-
Discuss typical occupancy patterns so results reflect how the building is actually used.
-
Provide clear recommendations for any further testing or mitigation required, with outline costs.
RADON SURVEYS AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Radon surveying often goes hand-in-hand with issues like damp, condensation and poor ventilation, which can all affect indoor air quality. Understanding radon levels alongside airflow and moisture helps to design solutions that improve both safety and comfort throughout the property.
Why combining radon surveys with ventilation checks matters
Over time, changes to a building — such as new windows, insulation or alterations — can trap radon and stale air inside. A combined radon and ventilation survey reviews how fresh air moves through your home or workplace and whether existing systems, such as PIV or fans, are helping or hindering radon control.
What’s typically included in a radon & ventilation review:
During this type of survey, the focus is on how radon levels, air movement and moisture interact within the property.
HERE'S WHAT IS TYPICALLY INCLUDED
A Radon Protection UK Surveyor will attend site and:
-
Review recent or historic radon test results and identify any areas of concern.
-
Inspect ventilation measures (for example PIV units, extract fans, trickle vents) to see how they support radon reduction.
-
Check that air is being distributed evenly and that outlets are not blocked or restricted.
-
Advise whether additional radon testing, detectors or monitoring equipment is recommended for specific rooms.
The main focus is on understanding how the building performs in real use, then recommending practical steps to control radon while maintaining healthy indoor air.
Ongoing Radon Testing and Monitoring
Locations or rooms with known or potential high radon levels should be surveyed and re-tested at intervals in line with UKHSA and HSE guidance. This helps confirm that mitigation continues to work effectively and that levels remain below the relevant reference or action levels.
Domestic and workplace re-testing:
Follow‑up testing is usually carried out using passive radon detectors left in place for a minimum of three months to account for seasonal variation. For ongoing monitoring or high‑risk areas, an electronic radon monitor can be used to give regular readings and reassurance between full survey cycles.
Radon Protection UK can supply and install a range of radon detectors, electronic monitors and associated equipment as part of a survey programme.
