At Legionella Risk Assessment Company, we help organisations meet their legal duties and protect people from legionnaires’ disease by providing thorough, professional risk assessments.

We assess water systems for legionella exposure risk, document any issues, and provide practical control recommendations. Our qualified assessors work with you on-site to evaluate pipework, storage systems, temperatures, and usage patterns.

Whether you manage an office, school, or care facility across the UK, we’ll deliver a detailed report and control plan tailored to your property’s needs, helping you stay compliant, safe, and audit‑ready.

What Does A Legionella Risk Assessment Company Do?

We at Legionella Risk Assessment Company inspect water systems to identify and manage the risk of legionella bacteria.

Our job is to assess the potential for harmful bacteria to develop and spread through your building’s water system. We look at system design, maintenance history, temperature control, and how water is stored or used.

Based on our findings, we provide a written risk assessment and control strategy. This helps duty holders take the right steps to reduce risk, protect occupants, and meet legal requirements under UK health and safety law.

What Types Of Properties Require Legionella Risk Assessments?

Legionella risk assessments are needed in any property where water is stored, circulated, or used, especially where it can become aerosolised, including:

• Flats and HMOs – Residential settings with shared water systems
• Offices – Especially those with showers, kitchens, or unused outlets
• Schools – Multiple outlets, variable use, and vulnerable users
• Care homes – High-risk occupants and complex water systems
• Hotels – High turnover of users, showers, and spa facilities
• Leisure centres – Pools, spas, and warm water systems
• Warehouses and industrial units – Often with intermittent water use

How Much Does A Legionella Risk Assessment Cost?

A legionella risk assessment for a residential or small office property costs around £150 to £250, while larger or more complex buildings, such as care homes, leisure centres, or hotels, can range from £300 to £800 or more.

The cost may increase if the assessment includes detailed remedial guidance, follow‑up support, or portfolio‑wide reviews.

What Is Included In A Legionella Risk Assessment?

A legionella risk assessment includes a full on‑site inspection, system evaluation, and a written report with compliance guidance.

We start with a site survey to inspect water systems, storage tanks, pipe layouts, and high‑risk outlets. Temperature checks are taken at various points, and the system is mapped to highlight potential stagnation or contamination risks.

We review documentation and maintenance procedures before compiling a report that outlines the current risk level, any non‑compliance issues, and clear control measures. Where needed, we include an action plan and a written scheme of control to help your site stay compliant and safe.

Who Needs A Legionella Risk Assessment And Why?

Legionella risk assessments are a legal responsibility of employers, landlords, and responsible persons under UK law. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, COSHH regulations, and ACoP L8 place the duty on those in control of premises to assess and manage these risks.

Particularly, this includes commercial landlords, housing providers, school leaders, healthcare managers, and facilities teams. The law requires that assessments be conducted by competent persons and regularly reviewed.

How Often Should Legionella Risk Assessments Be Carried Out?

Legionella risk assessments should typically be reviewed every two years or sooner if there are changes in use, occupancy, or the water system itself.

If your building has been refurbished, had changes to water storage or pipework, or if the previous assessment is out of date, a new risk assessment is required.

Even without physical changes, an updated assessment may be necessary if new regulations emerge or if health and safety responsibilities have changed hands. Routine review ensures ongoing compliance and avoids assumptions based on outdated risk profiles.

What Happens If Risks Are Identified During The Assessment?

If legionella is found, we assist clients by initiating system disinfection, isolating affected outlets, and retesting after remediation.

We also review and revise risk assessments and control schemes to prevent recurrence. In some cases, repeated positive results may require permanent system alterations.

Throughout the process, we provide clear guidance, documentation for regulators, and support for reopening or ongoing monitoring.

What Are The Legal And Compliance Standards Your Assessments Meet?

Our legionella risk assessments fully comply with ACoP L8, HSG274 Part 2, COSHH regulations, and the Health and Safety at Work Act.

We align all findings and recommendations with guidance from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and other relevant national standards. Our reports are accepted by local authorities, insurers, and auditors and are structured to meet legal expectations in any regulated setting.
