Radon & RPA Services in Newton Abbot
Jarvis Nuclear has been delivering Radon and RPA services across Newton Abbot, South Devon, and the wider South West since 2017.

We provide practical, cost-effective advice on Radon risk, measurement and management strategies, alongside Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety consultancy. Our RPS Training Courses are specifically tailored to homeowners, buyers and educational establishments, covering how best to monitor Radon, report findings accurately and reduce exposure risk across Newton Abbot and South Devon.
Understanding Radon Risk
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas with no colour or smell, released as uranium in soil and rock gradually breaks down. It can also seep into water supplies. The World Health Organization names Radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer, which is why testing matters.
Newton Abbot and the surrounding TQ postcode area fall within a recognised Radon Affected Area, meaning some homes and workplaces record levels above the recommended Action Level. We supply Long-Term Radon Detector Kits and Short-Term Radon Detector Kits to help assess your risk, with every reading measured in becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m³) and analysed by a UK-accredited laboratory.
Selling a property in Newton Abbot? Buyers increasingly request a Radon survey before proceeding, so early testing is a wise move.

Radiation Protection Advisor Newton Abbot FAQs
What does a Radiation Protection Advisor do?
A Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA) gives employers specialist advice on working safely with ionising radiation, helping them meet the requirements of the Ionising Radiations Regulations and manage risks to staff and the public.
Do I need a Radiation Protection Advisor in Newton Abbot?
If your business in Newton Abbot works with ionising radiation, radioactive substances, X-ray equipment or particle accelerators, you’re legally required to appoint an RPA. Schedule 4 of the Ionising Radiations Regulations sets out when this applies.
What is Radon, and why should I test for it?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can build up in poorly ventilated homes and workplaces. Newton Abbot falls within a Radon Affected Area, so testing helps you understand your exposure and, where necessary, take steps to reduce it.
How does a Radon test work?
We supply a small detector for your home or workplace. A Long-Term Kit runs for 90 days or more for an accurate risk assessment, while a Short-Term Kit gives a quicker 10-day indication. Results are analysed by a UK-accredited laboratory.
What areas around Newton Abbot do you cover?
We serve Newton Abbot and the wider TQ postcode area, including Torquay, Paignton, Totnes, Bovey Tracey, Kingsteignton, and Chudleigh, as well as Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and Dorset more widely.
What does RPS training involve?
Radiation Protection Supervisor training equips a named member of staff to oversee day-to-day radiation safety. We offer bespoke modules for sectors including veterinary practices, schools and colleges, tailored to your specific setup.
