Radon testing
Radon testing is one of the simplest, most cost effective ways to protect the health of everyone in your home or commercial building. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the UK, responsible for over 1,100 deaths each year, and the only way to know your risk is to test.
Taking up radon testing is a smart, proactive decision.
Should I test?
If your property is located within a radon‑affected area, the only reliable way to determine your level of exposure is to carry out a radon test using a certified detector or radon test kit. Vent Away UK supplies cost effective radon detectors suitable for both homes and workplaces, with all samples analysed by an independent accredited laboratory.

Testing timeline
A 10‑day radon test provides a valuable short‑term indication of the radon levels within a property. While not as comprehensive as a long‑term test, it delivers fast and reliable insight particularly useful when purchasing a new home or assessing potential risk quickly. We install two to three monitors throughout your property to build an accurate picture of current radon concentrations.
When appropriate, a 3‑month radon test provides the most reliable results. Testing over a longer period allows the data to be seasonally adjusted and analysed by an independent laboratory, giving a far more accurate picture of your property’s radon levels.
Our standard 3‑month radon test kit includes two passive detectors, which should remain in place for the full 12‑week period before being returned for analysis. Get in touch for up‑to‑date pricing and availability.
