What is Involved in a Legionella Risk Assessment?
A legionella risk assessment includes a detailed examination of your water systems to locate and understand any potential hazards to your water supply. The legionella risk assessors will review your water source and systems, such as any pipes, tanks, and cooling systems, to assess whether they present conditions where legionella bacteria can multiply. They will review data for the system, such as temperatures, changes to the system, or records of stagnation. The assessors will also review procedures that involve cleaning or disinfecting the system to ensure that they follow safety protocols. After the assessment is over, the assessors will produce a report that is detailed and offers straightforward recommendations to help reduce hazards and uphold compliance with safety regulations. This is a very important function for health and safe water systems.
Site Evaluations and Building Survey
Our surveyors thoroughly examine the water systems at your property as part of the building survey and site evaluation. Surveyors search in the water systems themselves, water tanks, pipes, cooling towers, and other equipment, possibly supporting Legionella development. In addition to maintenance records, surveyors will examine water temperatures and flow rates. They will record everything and pinpoint places requiring consideration as well as potential dangers. Because it lets every part of your water system be assessed, this approach is thorough and underpins a very complete Risk assessment and established recommendations to safeguard your home.
Control and Relief Detail
We identify and note throughout the evaluation plans to stop Legionella development. This entails looking at temperature regulations to guarantee water stays within safe limits, usually between 20°C and 45°C. We also evaluate water flow management to stop stagnation, which could cause a rise in bacterial count. We also closely examine maintenance practices for the system, including inspections, disinfection, and regular cleaning. Every observation is meticulously written down with explicit recommendations for improving safety procedures. We want to guarantee your water systems are properly maintained, therefore reducing Legionella contamination risk and supporting adherence to health codes.
Legionella Schematic Drawing
As part of our assessment process, we either create or update schematic drawings of your water systems. The schematics will be a detailed drawing of the layout of pipes, tanks, and other components that shows how water flows through the property. The schematics will be extremely helpful in managing your water systems on an ongoing basis, as they will allow you to easily visualize and identify the most likely risk areas and provide assurance that systems are operating as intended. The schematics will also become extremely helpful in future inspections/audits, if any changes occur, and for ongoing maintenance to remain compliant with Legionella safety and management plans.

Legionella Risk Assessment Vs Legionella Testing
Though Legionella risk assessments and water testing are both essential for preserving water safety, their goals are really distinct. Risk evaluations aim at spotting possible risks in your water systems, including temperature swings, stagnant water, and lack of maintenance that might cause Legionella to grow. Risk evaluations examine all the conditions that could encourage Legionella development and propose solutions to reduce the risk. On the other hand, water testing involves gathering samples from your systems to look for the actual presence of Legionella bacteria. Legionella risk assessments fit rehabilitation operations perfectly. Where testing could be needed is revealed by risk assessments; testing confirms the presence of the bacterium. Many times, both services are needed for adherence and health protection.
Legionella Risk Assessments for Landlords and Estate Agents

Domestic and Process Water Sampling and Water Testing Services
Our laboratory testing and water sampling services offer peace of mind for your home. By sampling from the domestic and process water systems, testing helps to identify Legionella germs and/or dangerous pathogens. Once the samples are transported to the lab for bacterial contamination, water quality, and other water-quality factors, including pH level and temperature, they will then be examined. The results will help you create your risk management strategy and validate any existing hazards. Testing complements legionella risk assessments; you must test to confirm that there is a potential hazard and suggested management steps to assist in lowering any risks. Together, these services enable us to offer safe, compliant, well-managed water systems that safeguard customers and avoid mishaps.
Legionella Testing
Testing for Legionella consists of collecting water samples from water systems in your property, such as taps, showers, or cooling towers. Our team follows strict protocols for sampling to ensure these tests will be accurate and reliable. The samples are then sent off to a certified laboratory to be tested for Legionella. The laboratory will check for colony-forming units (CFUs), plus the water quality, such as temperature and pH. We will then provide a straightforward, comprehensive report on the results of the tests to help you assess any Legionella risks. The most important reason to conduct Legionella tests is to ensure appropriate action will be taken to reduce Legionella and assess your water systems for safety and regulatory compliance.
Legionella Bacteria Risk Assessment – Understanding the Danger
Legionella bacteria are typically present in warm water environments with temperatures ranging from 20 °C to 45 °C. These bacteria can grow in water systems like shower heads, hot tubs, and cooling towers. When water is sprayed out of a shower, cooling system, or faucet, it can become a concern for human health when small droplets are inhaled into the lungs; this is the primary mode of transmission of the bacteria. Even though Legionella can cause Legionnaires´ disease, a serious lung infection, healthy people may not be a risk, but it can be a potential risk for vulnerable people, such as the elderly or compromised immune health. To identify and manage Legionella risks, a robust risk assessment of those risks is an important component.
