All Short term radon testing (under 90 Days) provides a snapshot of widely fluctuating radon values within the home. The minimum duration for our Radon Test Kits is 7 Days, with a maximum duration of 12 months.
The kit included 2 detectors, instructions leaflet & returns paperwork. To adhere to the protocol one detector is to be placed in the lounge and one in the main bedroom for 7 days & returned to us for analysis. Results are returned via email 14 working days following receipt at our office, however this cannot be guaranteed.
Short term radon screening tests can be used conveyancing or when dealing with time limitations to indicate if further long term testing is required, they should not replace a long term radon test. HPA guidelines recommend if the level of a 7 Day Radon test is over 75 Bq/m³, a long term test should be considered.
