If you are in a region with granite, there is a strong chance of needing radon protection under the floor, either a special dpm barrier or a ventilation system. I used the government Radon map and it showed the lowest risk category that requires special measures. But it was on the edge of the averaged big square so I invested in the online assessment. It asked for postcode then address from a list and then came back immediately saying 'no radon risk, no special measures . Specifically "What is the requirement under Building Regulations for radon protection in new buildings and extensions at the property location? - None" I assume that it uses a much more detailed map than is published. £3.90 spent and many hundreds saved, and a simple certificate for the Building Warrant application. So I recommend others to look at the map on line first , then get this assessment if it appears to be a radon area.
