About Radon Protection UK

Radon Protection UK is a nationwide specialist protecting homes, schools and commercial buildings from the dangers of radon gas. Their work includes radon testing and monitoring, mitigation systems, membrane installations, sumps, ventilation solutions and consultancy for both domestic and new-build projects.

As the business expanded, their operational requirements increased. The team needed a secure central hub for storing moisture-sensitive membranes, high-value monitoring devices and essential installation equipment. With projects across Desborough, Corby, Kettering, Leicester, Oundle and Stamford, accessibility and reliability were essential.

Why They Needed Space

Radon Protection UK wanted a facility that could keep their materials dry, secure and immediately accessible at any hour. Having the flexibility to collect equipment early in the morning, late at night or between urgent callouts was crucial, and not something many storage providers could offer.

Why They Chose Smartbox Self Storage

Smartbox Self Storage Desborough provided everything their operations required. The decisive factors included unrestricted access, consistent security, a clean indoor environment and scalable unit options that could grow with the business.

The site’s proximity to their headquarters meant engineers could drop in before or after jobs without adding unnecessary travel time. Clear pricing and long-term flexibility also made the move straightforward. In contrast, competitor facilities lacked the accessibility or operational freedom needed for time-sensitive mitigation work.

The Solution

Radon Protection UK moved their equipment into a 160 sq ft secure indoor unit, giving them the space to store all membranes, sump components, ventilation systems, PPE and specialist tools in one organised location. The stable, dry conditions protect moisture-sensitive products, ensuring they remain in optimal condition.

The ability to access the unit at any time means vans can be loaded the night before a job, materials can be collected after a late finish or equipment can be swapped out during an emergency callout. The site also offers easy parking and wide corridors that make handling large materials straightforward.

Smartbox’s flexible terms and scalable unit options mean the business can adjust its storage footprint whenever demand fluctuates.

The Impact

Using Smartbox has streamlined Radon Protection UK’s logistics and improved their operational efficiency. With all materials stored centrally, preparation for jobs is faster and more organised. Their radon membranes, sump systems and monitoring equipment stay clean, dry and protected.

The ability to access the unit whenever needed has removed previous bottlenecks, allowing engineers to manage their workloads with far greater flexibility. This has improved response times, reduced operational stress and helped maintain a smoother workflow.

The company also benefits from less clutter in vans and workshops, improved security for valuable assets and more cost-effective storage compared with traditional commercial warehouse space.

"Smartbox Self Storage Desborough has been an excellent solution for our growing business. We now have a secure, well-organised facility that ensures our radon protection materials are stored safely and can be accessed easily whenever needed. The flexibility and security of Smartbox have helped us work more efficiently while keeping our stock protected. Their services adapt to our changing storage needs, offering the accessibility and convenience we require."— Radon Protection UK Team
