Many homeowners may not be aware that their area is affected by radon and whether the gas is present in their home.

Every year, Radon Poisoning causes more than 1,000 deaths in the UK, but many people do not know what Radon is, or how it can damage their health.

Kitchen extractor fans work to reduce moisture and smells from the whole room escaping into the rest of your home where they can cause condensation.

Thousands of families across the UK live in highly radioactive areas and worse, their homes contain dangerous levels of radiation without residents even knowing it.

Radon is invisible. It is both colourless and odourless and can only be reliably measured using a special detector that can determine how much is present in your home.

According to experts, around 500,000 homes across the UK are in areas where there is a high risk of exposure to Radon gas.

Radon is almost everywhere in low quantities and is normally harmless, but concentrated above safe levels indoors, it can become dangerous.
