Legionella & Water Hygiene Services
Independent guidance and access to qualified legionella and water hygiene service providers across the UK.
Landlords, businesses, and organisations are often required to arrange specialist legionella and water hygiene services to meet legal and health and safety obligations.
Legionella Risk Assessment UK does not provide these services directly. Instead, we help users understand which services may be required and connect them with qualified, independent providers operating across the UK.
Understanding Legionella & Water Hygiene Services
Managing legionella risk typically involves a combination of assessment, monitoring, and control measures. The specific services required depend on the property, the complexity of its water systems, and how the building is used.
The services listed below are commonly required to support compliance with UK guidance and good water hygiene practice.
Our role is to help you:
- Understand what each service involves
- Identify which services may be relevant
- Find suitable providers to carry them out
Services We Help You Find
Legionella Risk Assessments
A structured assessment of water systems to identify potential legionella risks and recommend appropriate control measures.
This is often the starting point for compliance for both residential and commercial properties.
Legionella Testing & Sampling
Water sampling and laboratory testing used to detect the presence of legionella bacteria.
Testing is typically used as part of ongoing monitoring programmes or where risk has been identified.
Water Hygiene Monitoring
Routine monitoring activities such as temperature checks, flushing regimes, and inspections to ensure control measures remain effective.
Monitoring helps maintain compliance over time.
Written Schemes of Control
A documented plan outlining how water systems are managed and maintained to control legionella risk.
Written schemes are commonly required for higher-risk or more complex systems.
Remedial Works (via Partners)
Physical works required to address identified risks, such as system modifications or removal of redundant equipment.
These works are typically carried out by specialist contractors.
