UK RADON HOME & COMMERCIAL TESTING
Radon Testing for Cornwall - Homes & Businesses
Radon gas is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can be present at elevated levels in parts of Cornwall due to underlying geology such as granite and other rock formations. These conditions make Cornwall one of the higher-risk areas for elevated indoor radon levels in the UK, often without any obvious warning signs.
Radon Safe UK supplies reliable radon testing solutions for both residential and commercial properties throughout Cornwall, helping property owners identify potential risks and take appropriate action if needed.
Why Cornwall Has Increased Radon Risk
Much of Cornwall is classed as a radon-affected area, where more than 1 % of homes exceed the UK action level for radon. This elevated risk is linked to the local geology - radon is generated from the decay of uranium in rocks and soil and can migrate into buildings through gaps in floors, foundations and other openings.
Radon levels can vary dramatically from one property to another, even on the same street. The only way to know the level inside a particular building is to carry out a reliable measurement.
