At Clean Air UK, we’re committed to keeping your water systems safe with our expert Legionella risk assessments in Guildford. Whether it’s an office, a residential building, or a commercial site, we’ll ensure that your water systems meet safety regulations and are free from harmful bacteria. Managing a property can be stressful, but we take care of the assessment process so you can focus on what matters most.
In Guildford, as in the rest of the UK, having your water systems regularly checked for Legionella isn’t just about compliance—it’s about safeguarding health. Legionella bacteria thrives in stagnant water systems, posing a serious risk of Legionnaires’ disease. By law, you’re required to carry out an assessment every two years, but annual reviews are often recommended.
Regular assessments also help avoid insurance issues, as most providers require proof of compliance. Keeping your systems clean and safe gives you peace of mind and protects everyone in the building from harmful bacteria.
Legionella is a type of bacteria that can cause a serious lung infection known as Legionnaires’ disease. The bacteria are found naturally in water and can grow and multiply quickly in warm, stagnant water.
People can become infected with Legionella if they breathe in small droplets of water containing the bacteria. This can happen if they are using a shower or hot tub that is contaminated with the bacteria, or if they are working in an area where water droplets are being generated (such as a construction site).
Legionnaires’ disease is a serious infection that can cause severe pneumonia and other serious health problems. It can even be fatal in some cases.
Anyone can develop Legionnaires’ disease, but some people are at a higher risk than others. This includes people over the age of 45, smokers, heavy drinkers, and people with chronic lung diseases or weakened immune systems.
If you work in an occupation that involves exposure to water droplets (such as construction workers, painters, and plumbers), you may also be at a higher risk of developing Legionnaires’ disease.
Symptoms of Legionnaires’ disease usually develop 2-14 days after exposure to the bacteria. The symptoms might be mild or severe and include:
If you develop any of these symptoms after exposure to water droplets, it is important to see a doctor immediately. Legionnaires’ disease can be treated with antibiotics, but it can be fatal if it is not treated promptly.

Have used Cleanair before to do our kitchen deep clean and were very impressed with their work so asked them to replace our duct for the kitchen extraction. Arrived on time, done the work quickly and efficiently which allowed our kitchen team to carry on with their prep work. I highly recommend them.
We got VIP treatment as a local business – all queries were answered professionally and the work itself was fast and clean – no mess left on site. A refreshing attitude! Thanks to the team!
Looking for companies for the cleaning and servicing of my kitchen canopy and ducts I found, via Google, overpriced local traders. I am so glad I looked on the BESA website and came across Clean Air Ltd. The lads you sent round were polite and did a good job. I was so confident in your pricing and work I recommended Clean Air to my church for their kitchen work. God Bless you all.
A huge thank you to the staff at CleanAir UK who have done the most fantastic job cleaning our kitchen this year. They were prompt, polite, helpful, friendly and amazingly efficient. The kitchen is sparkling and we are thrilled with the results. We will definitely be asking them back next year…
