Legionella Risk Assessment
Legionella Risk Assessments
Legionella bacteria can naturally occur in water sources. When it enters residential or commercial water systems, warm temperatures within buildings can encourage rapid bacterial growth, increasing the risk of Legionnaires’ disease and other serious health conditions.
Legal requirements for landlords
In the UK, landlords have a legal responsibility to assess and control the risk of Legionella in their properties. A Legionella Risk Assessment ensures you remain compliant while protecting tenants and occupants.
What causes legionella growth?
Any hot and cold water system can be at risk, particularly where:
- Water systems are unused or stagnant
- Properties are left vacant for periods of time
- Older plumbing systems are present
- Hot water cylinders contain sediment or scale build-up
Our Legionella Assessment Service
Our Legionnaires Risk Assessments are essential in identifying and eliminating the risk of legionella bacteria within a property. The thorough inspection plays an imperative role in keeping residents, employees, staff and visitors protected.
Why regular assessments matter
Regular inspection also helps prevent bacterial build-up that if left unresolved could lead to health hazards. Therefore it is recommended to undergo a Legionnaires’ risk assessment at least every 2 years.
