The UK’s Leading Radon Testing & Remedial Professionals
Ensuring the safety of homes and workplaces from radon exposure requires expertise and reliability. We work to help homeowners, businesses, and organisations with trusted professionals address high radation across the UK.
Whether you need radon testing, mitigation, or expert advice, Radon Safe UK are your go-to team of specialists dedicated to protecting health and safety across the UK.
Radon in the Workplace
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas, and in certain areas of the UK it can accumulate inside buildings to levels that may pose a health risk. Employers have a legal duty to consider radon as part of their wider health and safety responsibilities.
Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers must assess any potential risks within their premises - including risks from radon where relevant.
If a workplace is located in a radon-affected area, or includes a basement or other below-ground workrooms, a radon measurement is usually required to complete this assessment.
The Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17) require employers to take action if long-term radon results exceed 300 Bq/m³. This may include further investigation or mitigation work to reduce radon levels and protect employees.
Although radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the UK, measuring it is straightforward and cost-effective, and raised levels can be reduced with practical mitigation measures when required.
Our Workplace Radon Monitoring Service
Radon Safe UK provides a reliable radon monitoring service specifically designed for commercial and public-sector buildings. Our service includes:
- Supply of professional radon detectors
- Clear instructions for placement
- Accredited laboratory processing
- A written report explaining your results
- Brief guidance on any next steps if levels are elevated
For most workplaces, two to ten detectors are sufficient, depending on the size and layout of the building. Measurements are normally carried out over a three-month period, in line with UK guidance for accurate long-term assessment.
Support for Larger Organisations
For organisations managing multiple sites or large property portfolios, we offer flexible testing solutions:
- Postal supply of detectors with placement instructions
- Bulk testing programmes for housing stock and estates
- Full on-site installation by our trained team
- Consolidated reporting across all properties tested
We can help you choose the most appropriate approach based on your building types, locations and regulatory requirements.
Who Needs to Test for Radon?
All employers must consider radon as part of their health and safety risk assessment. Testing is strongly advised if:
- The workplace is in a radon-affected area
- The building has a basement or below-ground rooms used by staff
- You are unsure of the current radon level and need reassurance
- You are responsible for multiple buildings or varied property types
No indoor ground-floor workplace can be assumed to have low radon simply because of ventilation or the nature of the work carried out. The number of detectors needed depends on building size, layout and occupancy.
Radon Awareness Training Course
Radon Safe UK offers an in-person Radon Awareness Course designed for organisations that need a clear understanding of radon, its risks, and their responsibilities under UK health and safety law. This course is ideal for local authorities, housing teams, estates departments, facility managers, H&S officers and anyone responsible for staff or building safety.
Radon Mitigation Services
Radon Safe UK provides specialist radon mitigation services for homes, businesses and large organisations across England. Our team work closely with local authorities, housing associations, facilities managers and estate teams to deliver practical, reliable solutions that reduce radon levels to within UK guidance.
We understand the challenges faced by organisations responsible for multiple buildings or large housing portfolios. Our mitigation programmes are designed to be efficient, cost-effective and easy to manage, with clear communication at every stage.
