- Better Indoors is an award winning damp, mould, condensation, radon and indoor air quality surveyor and solution provider.. We have surveyed over 20,000 properties for damp, mould and radon across the UK from the Channel Islands to Scotland and provided our permanent preventative solutions to the vast majority of these. Our expertise in root cause diagnosis is unique which is a very important differentiating feature because root cause is usually misdiagnosed by surveyors and contractors large and small including holders of recognised qualificatiions and certifications. Misdiagnosis of the root cause leads to treatments and solutions that dont work so the problem continues and/or returns.. This is a real risk with most damp and mould surveyors and contractors especially those who are new to the industry who lack the necessary in-the-field experience . With Better Indoors this risk is eliminated and quality and precision is assured.
- Better Indoors holds ABBE/PCA CertificatedSurveyor of Dampness in Buildings (CSDB) and NICEIC Certified forDomestic Ventilation qualifications. We are also members of both Radon Council and UK Radon Association, Institute of Environmental Sciences, IAQ Management Association and UK Indoor Environments Group (a leading government lobby group on IAQ matters). We provide our expert damp and mould surveys and solutions and radon measurement and mitigation services to governments and public and private sector clients all over the UK including the Channel Islands and our high scalable and adjustable solutions have always successfully eliminated condensation and mould and/or reduced elevated radon levels to below the Domestic or Commercial Action Leveland more often than not below the Target Level. In November 2024 we were recognised for our groundbreakingradon project with Government of Jersey in the Channel Islands wherewe have designed, specified, supplied and fitted over 200 mitigation systems inschools, offices and residential buildings since 2023 and post install measurements confirm all systems have been successful (with many buildings measuring in the thousands of Bq/m3 before mitigation). We were awarded the Building a Safer Future Award at the 2024 H&V News Awards in London.

- We are proud to be British and we supply and fit branded indoor environmental products with only the most advanced, patent protected technologies at their cores which deliver unique benefits and set us apart from all other products in this category. In ventilation we supply and fit branded products which are designed, manufactured and assembled in the UK and which are certified to meet Part F requirements.
- We are the UK’s exclusive distributors to RGF Environmental Inc. (www.rgf.com), a world leading innovator, patent holder and manufacturer of air and water purification and food sanitisation products. RGF’s air purification technologies (Photohydroionisation (PHI) and Reflective Electro Magnetic Energy (REME)) replicate the natural air cleaning processes constantly occurring in the Earth’s atmosphere, destroying viruses, bacteria, odours, VOCs and other organics/gases and removing airborne particulates. RGF’s air purification products are used in over 4 million applications in over 60 countries around the world. What makes these products unique and more effective than passive systems like HEPA, UV-C, PCO/TiO2, incineration, cold plasma, ionisation only and hydroxyl cascades is they are proven to safely destroy pathogens and pollutants instantly at source no matter where in the indoor air or surface space they are emitted/aerosolised or touched as fomites. In the post COVID-19 world, this capability offers the single most effective method of disabling viral transmission in addition to existing mitigation guidance that is not dependent on the actions of people and as a result our solutions are helping rebuild public confidence in indoor spaces.
- We offer the safest, most effective and proven solutions for airborne viral and microbial prevention and deactivation. Since 2020, demand for air purification technology around the world has increased , with many new products claiming to offer the best, most effective and safest approach. This has created a myth that all products and solutions are the same when they are most certainly not and it is vital that consumers, businesses and governments understand the true capabilities and especially how a particular technology works before making a choice. The fact is passive technologies have always allowed high risks to remain because of how they work. It is impossible for a passive unit to destroy a virus at source because the air must first get to the unit which could take hours or never depending on how far away the virus is and there is no guarantee the virus will be caught or deactivated as it passes through (viruses can pass straight through HEPA filters and UV-C is only effective very close to the light source and needs time to destroy virus so only works in static scenarios ie. close to filters). Further, technologies such as PCO/TiO2 and cold plasma are known to produce dangerous levels of ozone and carcinogenic by-products such as Formaldehyde and ionisation only approaches do not deactivate dangerous pathogens. Since COVID-19, there have been many well publicized examples of how transmission risk remains a significant threat with passive systems. In June 2020 a flight from Doha to Athens saw a number of passengers become infected during the flight despite the airliner being fitted with HEPA filtration and are numerous examples of COVID-19 outbreaks in food processing facilities despite all mitigation measures being followed. These problems are not issues with our active technology which is effective in every cubic cm of indoor air and surface space simultaneously and continuously.
