Welsh Enterprise Awards 2023

SME News Welsh Enterprise Awards 2023/ 26 Best Radon Detection & Reduction Specialists Company of the Year 2023 RPW Radon Wales Ltd. is renowned for providing Radon detection and reduction services to a range of clients, including schools and universities, across the UK. The company offers high quality Radon gas testing kits and works to reduce the harmful levels of Radon gas in hundreds of properties. RPW Radon Wales Ltd. is celebrated by the Welsh Enterprise Awards for its steadfast commitment to protecting customers through the research, detection, and reduction of Radon gas levels. In the UK, Radon has now been recognised as the second largest cause of lung cancer after smoking. It is the objective of RPW Radon Wales to save lives by reducing the risk of lung cancer for the public. With over 16 years of experience detecting and controlling Radon gas, the business has established itself as the leading company in Wales to carry out its lifesaving work. RPW Radon Wales achieves its mission through a blend of expertise and hard work, travelling across the UK to test and reduce this harmful gas. Radon gas is a naturally occurring gas that is produced when uranium decays. Uranium is widely found in rocks and soils, causing Radon to be continually produced. In properties, Radon can enter from underneath the floor and accumulate indoors. Although the normal concentration of Radon in UK houses is lower than in most other European countries, some properties can store higher levels, becoming a health concern for families and increasing the risk of lung cancer. Radon has not been properly policed by governments, resulting in thousands of homes and workplaces with increasingly high levels. With over 2000 recorded Radon deaths in the UK every year, RPW Radon Wales is dedicated to its mission to identify and reduce Radon gas levels. During the pandemic, the company implemented further protective measures to safeguard its staff and customers. In a world where airflow is more important than ever, RPW Radon Wales is committed to continued education and reducing dangerous levels of Radon for its valued clientele. Established in 2010, RPW Radon Wales is run by the Waters family. Richard Waters is the company’s founder and managing director and a director of the Radon Council. Through his dedication to research and best practices, Richard continues to grow the business and develop his vast customer portfolio. Richard Waters works alongside Vicky, his daughter-in-law, and Lee, his eldest son, who joined the company after 10 years as a qualified building inspector. Most recently, RPW Radon has employed Liz Kilgour as office administrator to enhance the customer experience and shape the office structure. The business is passionate about recruiting self-sufficient people and provides full in-house training across all elements of the job to all their tradesmen. RPW Radon Wales is an independent company, offering its services to schools, homes, hospitals, universities, and workplaces. If Radon levels are discovered to be over the government limit, the company provides a survey, design, and installation of Radon extraction systems with a 100% success rate in reducing harmful gas. Over its years of service, RPW Radon Wales has discovered that the general public is unaware of the prevalence of Radon gas in quality aircontrolled environments. The business is dedicated to educating others on the dangerous effects of Radon gas and how it can be controlled. Due to the high levels of Radon found in Wales, extensive research on Radon has been conducted within the country. RPW Radon Wales is able to utilise these local testing areas to progress its business through research and development. The company has recently completed experiments on the importation of Radon gas through granite rock, which was featured in the Autumn 2012 edition of the Environmental newsletter on Radon gas remediation for the Health Protection Agency. Wales has begun to slowly apply Radon measures to new build properties, enabling RPW Radon Wales to provide specialist information on preventative measures. RPW Radon Wales has designed hundreds of extraction systems tailored to every property and successfully reduced Radon levels for numerous clients. The business works alongside the Welsh Assembly to campaign for a cleaner, aircontrolled environment in all private dwellings and workplaces. It is the mission of RPW Radon Wales to educate, advise, and deliver its lifesaving policies to customers across the UK. Looking to the future, the company will continue its work with the Welsh Assembly, housing associations, health boards and 22 local Welsh authorities on their schools, social housing, and workplaces. For its dedication to protecting the public through the research and reduction of Radon, RPW Radon Wales Ltd. has received our award for Best Radon Detection & Reduction Specialists Company of the Year.
