What Is Legionnaires Testing?

Legionnaires testing, also known as Legionella testing, involves sampling water from your system to check for the presence of Legionella bacteria. Accredited laboratories then analyse the samples, providing clear results you can trust.

It can be serious

Legionnaires’ is a severe form of pneumonia that can be life-threatening if untreated.

High-risk groups

Older adults, smokers, and people with weakened immune systems are most vulnerable.

Linked to water systems

Outbreaks often occur in places with poorly maintained cooling towers, hot water tanks, or air conditioning.

Testing is an important part of ongoing Legionella risk management, especially in settings such as offices, care homes, schools, leisure centres, and rental properties.

When Is Testing Required?

UK guidance states that Legionella testing is necessary in certain situations:

  • In healthcare and residential care settings.

  • Where water systems are complex or high-risk.

  • If control measures, such as temperature checks, cannot be guaranteed.

  • After system changes, refurbishment, or contamination incidents.

Even when not legally required, many duty holders choose regular testing as part of a robust water safety plan. It provides peace of mind, reassurance for occupants, and evidence for compliance checks.
