Radon Testing & Monitoring 

The frequency of radon testing and monitoring depends on factors such as the initial radon levels found, the type of building, and the effectiveness of any radon mitigation measures in place. In general, it is recommended to conduct long-term monitoring every few years to ensure that radon levels remain within acceptable limits and to identify any changes that may require further action. Lucion’s radiation protection experts can advise you on the most appropriate testing and monitoring schedule for your specific property and circumstances. 

Radon testing and monitoring are essential for demonstrating compliance with regulations such as the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17) and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. By accurately measuring radon levels in your property and verifying the effectiveness of radon mitigation measures, Lucion’s services help you meet your legal obligations and ensure the safety of your building occupants. 

Our radon testing and monitoring reports provide comprehensive data and analysis of radon levels in your property. They include detailed radon concentration measurements, trend analysis, and recommendations for further action where necessary.

Our reports are designed to support your compliance with regulations such as IRR17 and provide the information you need to make informed decisions about radon risk management. 

The duration of radon testing and monitoring depends on the specific needs of the property and the type of assessment being conducted. Short-term testing can provide initial screening results within a few days, while long-term monitoring typically lasts between 3 and 12 months to account for seasonal variations in radon levels and provide a more accurate picture of average radon concentrations. 

We utilise a range of advanced radon detectors and monitoring equipment, including passive etched-track detectors for long-term measurement of average radon concentrations, continuous radon monitors for real-time measurement and analysis of radon levels, and electronic integrating devices for assessing radon exposure over specific time periods. Our team selects the most appropriate equipment based on the specific requirements of each property and client. 

Radon testing typically refers to short-term measurements that provide a snapshot of radon levels at a specific point in time, while radon monitoring involves longer-term measurements that assess radon concentrations over an extended period, often several months to a year. Monitoring provides a more comprehensive picture of radon levels and helps to account for factors such as seasonal variations and occupancy patterns.
