That's a nice calculator. I had seen that chart before but forgotten about it, thanks. Calculating for 27 pCi/L and figuring 20 hours / day in the house, I get 3.0 mSv over 30 days, or 36.1 mSv / year. Definitely concerning, but at least it is less than the "Maximum yearly dose permitted for US radiation workers"...

You can pay a radon inspector to do a test, which is what I did the first time, or you can buy a radon test kit at a hardware store or online, which is what I did the second time. You leave the kit in your house for a couple days, then mail it to a testing lab. The kits are much cheaper than an inspector but probably less accurate.

@ChrisF, it appears it may possible to get a special license to grant an exception to the law, at no cost (disclaimer: I am not a UK resident, I just found the link while googling the topic)
