Clean Air UK offers reliable and thorough Legionella Risk assessments in Bromley, ensuring your water systems are safe from harmful bacteria. Whether you’re responsible for an office block, residential flats, or an industrial facility, we have the expertise to keep you compliant and your water systems free from Legionella. The UK’s Health and Safety regulations require regular risk assessments, and we make that process stress-free, giving you one less thing to worry about.
Performing regular Legionella risk assessments is not just about ticking a box—it’s about keeping people safe and healthy. Legionella bacteria, which can thrive in water systems like cooling towers and storage tanks, pose a serious risk if left unchecked. Bromley businesses and landlords must stay on top of this to prevent potential outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease, which can be fatal.
The law suggests an assessment at least every two years, but regular checks, especially in older buildings or properties with complex plumbing, are highly recommended. Insurance companies often insist on proof of compliance, so keeping your records up to date helps avoid any headaches in the event of a claim.
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.

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.
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!
