UK Radon Association

What UK Radon Association does

The UK Radon Association is a not-for-profit professional trade body registered as a company limited by guarantee in England & Wales (Registered Company Number 8735211), headquartered in Birmingham. It operates as a standards and membership organisation rather than a service-delivery company: its members are specialist radon contractors, accredited testing laboratories, equipment suppliers, consultants, and HSE-recognised Radiation Protection Advisers who must adhere to the association's Code of Ethics. The association's primary commercial mechanism is recurring membership fees across Full, Provisional, and Associate tiers, with pricing obtained on a quote basis via the Secretary. Its go-to-market is community-led, anchored on a postcode-based Find a Supplier directory that routes consumer demand to vetted members, supplemented by the Guide to Radon educational resource, a regular blog, and an annual UK Radon Awareness Week campaign. The member network collectively delivers radon testing (passive and real-time instruments), mitigation (sumps, positive pressure ventilation, extraction fans), consultancy and RPA advisory for IRR17 compliance, surveying, equipment supply, basement-specialist services, newbuild radon protection, newbuild verification, and radon test kits. Customer segments are diversified across householders, property buyers and sellers, employers with IRR17 obligations, landlords and tenants, basement specialists, and newbuild developers, operating across all UK regions plus the Channel Islands and Europe. Leadership disclosed in source data consists of Director Andrew Latimer; the organisation employs 11-50 staff.

Core offering

The UK Radon Association is a not-for-profit professional membership organisation that represents radon contractors, testing laboratories, equipment suppliers, and consultants in the UK. It does not deliver radon services directly; instead it sets industry standards through a Members' Code of Ethics, operates a postcode-based Find a Supplier online directory connecting consumers with vetted member providers, and promotes radon awareness through educational resources (Guide to Radon) and the annual UK Radon Awareness Week campaign.

Product overview

The UK Radon Association is a not-for-profit professional membership organisation (registered company 8735211) that connects consumers with specialist radon service providers.

Its member network provides a comprehensive suite of radon-related services: radon testing (using passive detectors and real-time calibrated instruments), radon mitigation (including sumps, positive pressure ventilation, and extraction fans), consultancy and radiation protection advisory services (HSE-recognised RPA bodies providing IRR17 compliance support), equipment supply (fans, membranes, sensors), surveying, basement specialist services, and newbuild radon protection and verification. The association maintains quality standards through a Members' Code of Ethics that all members must adhere to.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS): UK-based professional body with a Code of Ethics and a standards-setting function across real estate, surveying, and property valuation. Comparable structure (membership tiers, code of conduct, public-facing standards), overlapping with the UK Radon Association where radon testing enters home-buying due diligence.
• CIRIA (Construction Industry Research and Information Association): UK membership-based organization producing best-practice guidance for the construction and built-environment sector. Similar membership-driven, standards-and-knowledge role to the UK Radon Association but covering a much broader construction remit.
• BRE Group (Building Research Establishment): UK building science body issuing standards, testing, and certification (including BREEAM and radon-related guidance). Comparable to the UK Radon Association as a UK-based authority setting and disseminating environmental and indoor-air-quality standards, though operating at far greater breadth.
• BEAMA (Building Engineering Services Association): UK trade association representing manufacturers and installers of building engineering systems, including ventilation. Comparable membership-and-standards model to the UK Radon Association and an overlapping interest area given that radon mitigation relies on ventilation and extraction systems.

Direct peers

• Property Care Association (PCA): UK trade body accrediting specialists in damp, waterproofing, and structural remediation. Operates a near-identical model—vetting member firms under a Code of Ethics and serving as a public-facing directory—and is the closest UK analogue for a specialist building-health professional association.
• Swedish Radon Association: Sweden's national professional association for radon professionals. Operates the same membership-based model as the UK Radon Association in a jurisdiction with more mature radon regulation, and is explicitly cross-listed among UK Radon Association member affiliations.
• CARST — Canadian Association of Radon Stakeholders: Canadian non-profit radon stakeholder organization that coordinates testing and mitigation standards and member accreditation. Compares directly as a national non-profit radon association serving a defined geographic market.
• AARST — American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists: National, non-profit professional association for radon measurement and mitigation professionals in the United States. Directly analogous to the UK Radon Association in mission, membership tiers, Code of Ethics, and standards-setting role, but operating in the US regulatory context.
• Norwegian Radon Association: Norway's national professional radon association. Closely comparable body to the UK Radon Association in a Nordic market with strong regulatory frameworks on radon, and is cross-linked through shared membership of firms like Radonova.
• European Radon Association (ERA): Pan-European professional association for radon stakeholders, operating across multiple jurisdictions. Functionally the same type of body as the UK Radon Association but with continental scope, competing for the attention of multinational member firms.
