What Is Legionella Testing?

Legionella testing is the process of identifying and assessing the presence of Legionella bacteria in water systems, usually found in commercial environments as opposed to domestic ones. These bacteria thrive in various environments, including hot and cold water systems, air conditioning, and hot tubs. Regular testing is vital to prevent the spread of Legionnaires’ disease - a severe form of lung infection caused by inhaling contaminated water droplets.

Who Is Responsible for Ensuring Water Systems Are Safe?

The responsibility for maintaining safe water systems usually rests with landlords, business owners, or property managers; if you’re in any of these positions, you are responsible for organising Legionella testing. This responsibility is in place to safeguard employees, customers, guests, or tenants, and failure to comply with this could lead to significant health risks, legal penalties, and reputational damage.

How Does This Service Work?

Our Legionella testing service is structured to be thorough, efficient, and fully compliant with safety regulations in the UK. Here’s how we achieve this:
  • 1. Initial Consultation: We begin by discussing your property’s water systems to identify potential risks and tailor a testing plan.
  • 2. On-Site Inspection: Our team conduct a detailed inspection to pinpoint areas where Legionella bacteria may be present.
  • 3. Water Sampling: Samples are carefully taken from key points in your water system and sent to accredited laboratories for analysis.
  • 4. Detailed Reporting: We provide a comprehensive report that outlines our findings, highlights potential risks, and recommends necessary actions.
  • 5. Ongoing Support: To ensure continued compliance and safety, we offer advice and additional services for long-term system maintenance.
