Our Legionealla risk assessments are conducted in accordance with BS 8580-1:2019 and HSG274. After your assessment, we’ll issue you with a detailed report and draft a plan for ongoing Legionella control support.
If remedial actions are required, we can help with these too, but these will be quoted separately in line with BS 8580-1:2019 requirements to keep the roles of assessor and contractor separate. Our assessments are impartial, and, while we want to provide as much support as we can, you are not obliged to use us for remedial services.
We employ a team of highly trained, deeply experienced technicians, allowing us to deliver expert water hygiene services, including Legionella assessments, Legionella sampling, Legionella water treatment and Legionella water temperature checks. We operate in compliance with key standards including BS 7592:2022 for Legionella water sampling and BS 8580-1:2019 for Legionella risk assessments.
