How the Process Works for Businesses
A straightforward way for businesses to find suitable legionella risk assessment providers.
Legionella Risk Assessment UK is designed to make it easier for businesses to understand their responsibilities and connect with qualified legionella risk assessment providers — without pressure, contracts, or preferential listings.
This page explains how the process works from start to finish.
For Businesses
Tell Us About Your Premises
To begin, businesses provide basic information about their premises, such as:
- Location
- Type of premises (office, retail, hospitality, etc.)
- Whether the assessment is new or a review
- Any specific requirements (e.g. multi-site, audit-related)
This information allows us to identify providers that are suitable for your type of business and operate in your area.
There is no commitment at this stage.
We Match You With Suitable Providers
Using the information provided, we match your enquiry with qualified legionella risk assessment providers who:
- Cover your geographic area
- Have experience with commercial premises
- Understand compliance and regulatory requirements
We do not promote providers based on payment or preference. Our role is to make suitable introductions, not recommendations.
Providers Contact You Directly
Matched providers contact you directly to:
- Discuss your premises and requirements
- Answer questions
- Provide quotes or availability
You remain fully in control and can:
- Speak with one or more providers
- Compare approaches and experience
- Decide whether to proceed
There is no obligation to accept any quote.
The Assessment Is Carried Out
If you choose to proceed, the selected provider will:
- Carry out the legionella risk assessment
- Review relevant water systems
- Identify potential risks
- Provide written documentation or a report
The scope, timing, and cost are agreed directly between you and the provider.
Ongoing Compliance and Review
After the assessment, businesses should:
- Retain the documentation
- Implement any recommended control measures
- Review the assessment when circumstances change
Many businesses incorporate legionella risk management into wider health and safety or facilities management processes.
What Legionella Risk Assessment UK Does (and Doesn’t Do)
To avoid confusion, it’s important to understand our role.
What we do:
- Provide clear information for businesses
- Match businesses with suitable providers
- Support informed decision-making
- Maintain independence and transparency
What we don’t do:
- Carry out legionella risk assessments
- Set or negotiate prices
- Recommend one provider over another
- Provide legal advice
Our platform exists to connect businesses with providers — not to act as the service provider.
Why Use an Independent Matching Platform?
Businesses often face:
- Difficulty identifying competent providers
- Inconsistent pricing
- Pressure to purchase unnecessary services
- Uncertainty around compliance requirements
Using an independent platform helps:
- Save time
- Improve transparency
- Support proportionate compliance
- Reduce friction in the procurement process
