If you own, manage, or rent out a property in Colchester, you’re responsible for keeping your water systems safe and compliant. At Clean Air UK, we carry out legionella risk assessments in Colchester that help you identify and control the risks associated with legionella bacteria in hot and cold water systems.
We take a holistic approach, covering everything from water testing to ongoing control measures, ensuring your site remains fully compliant with health regulations.
When you get in touch, we’ll talk through your property setup — whether it’s domestic, rental, or managed by a property management company — and arrange a detailed inspection of your water systems.
Our fully qualified consultants carry out every risk assessment with minimal disruption to your site. Each assessment includes examination of cold water storage tanks, combi boilers, distribution pipework, and temperature outputs.
Legionella bacteria thrive in stagnant water, low flow areas, and systems that aren’t properly maintained. That’s why we look closely at every part of your water system, including cooling towers, non-WRAS approved fittings, and dead legs.
By checking the flow pattern, water temperature, and heat transference, we can spot risk factors early and recommend corrective action before they become a problem.
We offer accurate testing and water sampling for full legionella compliance. Samples are sent to a UKAS-accredited lab for precise results, helping to confirm the presence (or absence) of legionella bacteria.
Your risk assessment report will highlight any control measures needed — from simple maintenance adjustments to full water treatment solutions. Our comprehensive report gives you a clear picture of your site’s condition and what needs attention.
Legionnaires’ disease is a serious lung infection caused by inhaling tiny droplets of contaminated water containing legionella bacteria. It’s most common in poorly maintained systems or stagnant water environments where bacteria multiply.
A proper risk assessment isn’t just a legal requirement — it’s an essential step in protecting the health of tenants, staff, and visitors. Failing to take reasonable steps to control legionella risks can lead to legal action and even be considered a safety offence.
A legionella risk assessment includes a full site inspection, examination of your water system, and water temperature monitoring to check for risk factors prescribed under the Approved Code of Practice (ACoP L8).
We’ll identify areas where contamination could occur, outline ongoing control measures, and produce a comprehensive report with practical recommendations.
In short — we don’t just identify risks; we help you fix them.
Maintaining good water hygiene is the foundation of safe water system management. That means regular monitoring, cleaning, and ensuring all cold water systems and storage tanks are properly maintained.
Our services help prevent legionella bacteria from forming in your hot and cold water systems, giving you complete confidence in your legionella compliance.
For domestic properties, especially those with combi boilers, low water usage, or dead legs, we recommend regular risk assessments to ensure no stagnant water is left to develop bacteria. Even smaller systems can become contaminated if left unchecked.
Our team provides practical, cost-effective solutions for homeowners who want to make sure their water remains clean and safe.
If you’re a landlord or manage rental properties, you’re legally responsible for assessing and controlling legionella risks in the building. That includes testing the hot and cold water systems, checking water storage tanks, and taking action if bacteria are found.
We make the process easy — from the assessment itself to the compliance documentation you’ll need to prove your property meets health and safety regulations.
For property management companies looking after multiple buildings, keeping on top of legionella compliance can be a challenge. We work closely with your team to deliver a full range of testing, monitoring, and risk assessments across your entire portfolio.
Our service ensures each building has a sufficient assessment and compliance plan in place, helping you stay responsible, protected, and fully compliant with all legal requirements.
Whether you manage a single property or multiple sites, Clean Air UK provides the assessment, testing, and reporting you need to keep your water systems safe and your business compliant.
Contact our Colchester team today to arrange your legionella risk assessment and take the right steps toward safer water hygiene and full legionella compliance.
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…
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.
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!
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.
