Water Hygiene Monitoring

Water hygiene monitoring is a critical ongoing requirement for many commercial, public sector, and high-risk premises. Legionella Risk Assessment UK helps organisations find qualified, independent water hygiene monitoring providers, ensuring routine checks are carried out correctly, consistently, and in line with UK guidance.
We do not provide monitoring services ourselves. Instead, we connect you with trusted third-party specialists who are experienced in managing water systems safely and compliantly.

What Is Water Hygiene Monitoring?
Water hygiene monitoring refers to regular, planned inspections and testing of water systems to reduce the risk of legionella bacteria growth. Monitoring ensures that control measures identified in your legionella risk assessment remain effective over time.
Typical monitoring activities may include:
- Temperature checks at sentinel outlets
- Inspection of hot and cold water systems
- Tank inspections and condition reporting
- Flushing of infrequently used outlets
- Sampling where required
- Record keeping and compliance logs
Monitoring frequencies are determined by the risk level of the system and the type of premises.
Who Needs Water Hygiene Monitoring?
Water hygiene monitoring is commonly required in:
- Offices and commercial buildings
- Hotels, leisure facilities, and gyms
- Care homes and healthcare settings
- Schools, colleges, and universities
- Industrial and manufacturing sites
- Multi-occupancy residential buildings
If your property has a legionella risk assessment recommending ongoing monitoring, you are responsible for ensuring it is carried out correctly.
