Our Comprehensive Legionella Services

We deliver a complete suite of water safety services tailored to your specific site and risk assessment.

UKAS-Accredited Legionella Testing & Water Sampling

Accurate data is the foundation of effective control. Our legionella testing services are performed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory (No. 12413), providing you with legally-defensible results you can trust. We test from a wide range of potential risk sources, including:

• Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers
• Hot and Cold Water Systems
• Spa Pools and Whirlpool Baths
• Emergency Showers and Eye Wash Stations

Legionella Risk Assessment – Your First Legal Step

The legionella risk assessment is the critical first step in your compliance journey. Our certified assessors will conduct a thorough inspection of your water systems, identify potential risks, and provide a clear, actionable report that forms the basis of your water safety plan. This is a mandatory requirement under ACoP L8.

Proactive Legionella Control & Monitoring

Testing alone is not enough. Our legionella control programmes are designed to prevent the bacteria from proliferating in the first place. Our services include:

• System Cleaning & Disinfection: Including tank cleaning and system chlorination.
• Water System Monitoring: Regular temperature checks and water sampling to ensure control parameters are met.
• TMV Servicing: Ensuring Thermostatic Mixing Valves are functioning correctly.
• Remedial Work: Addressing issues identified in your risk assessment.

Your Legal Duties for Legionella Control

If you are an employer, building owner, or landlord, you have a duty to understand and manage the legionella risks in your water systems. This is known as being the ‘duty holder’ or ‘responsible person’. Key regulations include:

• The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
• The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002
• HSE’s Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) L8
• HSG274 Technical Guidance
