What Are Legionella Risk Assessments?

A legionella risk assessment is a full inspection and evaluation of your water system — including cold water storage tanks, hot water systems, and any cooling towers — to identify conditions where legionella bacteria might grow.

Legionella can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia, when people inhale tiny droplets of contaminated water. So these assessments aren’t just about compliance — they’re about safety and wellbeing.

When we’re conducting legionella risk assessments, we look for potential hazards such as dead legs, stagnant water, or low temperatures that allow bacteria to thrive.

Legionella Risk Assessment in Bristol

Our Bristol legionella risk assessment service covers every aspect of legionella control, from the initial inspection through to the detailed report and practical recommendations.

We work with landlords, facilities managers, housing associations, and businesses of all sizes. Whether your site has simple cold water systems or more complex setups, our legionella risk assessors will ensure everything is properly assessed and compliant with the Legionella Control Association (LCA) guidelines.

Do I Need a Risk Assessment?

If you’re an employer, landlord, or property manager, the short answer is yes. It’s a legal requirement under UK health and safety regulations to assess and manage the risks of legionella exposure in any property that has a water supply.

Even small systems can pose potential risks if they’re not maintained — especially when storage tanks or pipework are rarely used. Taking reasonable steps now can prevent expensive remedial action later.

The Difference Our Legionella Risk Assessors Make

Our specialists bring extensive expertise and a down-to-earth approach. We don’t just tick boxes — we look at your specific needs, identify issues, and explain what’s required in plain English.

We help clients manage risks, stay compliant, and avoid legal responsibilities turning into problems. Because every site is different, our reports and advice are tailored to your property, system, and business type.

What Is the Assessment Process?

Our assessment process is straightforward but thorough:

  1. Site Visit – Our team will inspect your water systems, identifying potential risks such as low temperatures, stagnant areas, or dead legs.
  2. Evaluate and Record – We’ll collect data about your system layout, flow, and temperature control, noting any high-risk areas.
  3. Detailed Report – You’ll receive a comprehensive report highlighting findings, control measures, and any remedial actions needed to ensure compliance.
  4. Ongoing Support – We offer advice and written schemes for ongoing monitoring, keeping your site safe long term.

It’s a process designed to help you ensure compliance without unnecessary disruption.

Legionella Testing and the Law

Legionella testing may be required as part of your risk management plan or when systems change — for example, after refurbishment or when water temperatures drop.

According to health and safety regulations, it’s your responsibility to make sure water systems are regularly inspected and maintained to prevent legionella bacteria growth.

Ignoring this duty can result in a safety offence, especially if Legionnaires’ disease is traced back to your premises.
