UK Radon maps update

January 5, 2023

UKHSA launched the new radon map on 01/12/22.

Radon is a colourless and odourless gas that is attributed to many lung cancer deaths annually in the United Kingdom. For most people, the risk of developing lung cancer from exposure to radon remains low and levels of radon have not increased across the UK.

The UKHSA advises you to test your home if you live or work in an Affected Area. There are several methods of reducing high radon levels in buildings.

The radon map allows local councils, national and regional governments, social and private landlords, private homeowners and employers to assess the radon risk in their properties. It is also used in building regulations to inform where radon preventative measures should be incorporated in new buildings.

I wanted to leave a review for the CPD that Michael gave us on the Building Safety Act. It was an excellent CPD very informative, thorough and engaging.

“LBC have taken our eco-build (timber frame, straw infill, steeply sloping site), easily in their stride; we have been impressed by their pertinent questions and immensely helpful ‘can do’ attitude.

“Made the whole process stress free and added value to our finished product. The whole process was made so much easier by the inspector being so helpful, nothing was ever too much trouble. Professional but with the ‘human touch’.
