Frequently Asked Questions

Legionella risk assessments start from £300 + VAT and are priced per assessment.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, any employer or person in control of premises — including landlords — has a legal duty to assess the risk of Legionella in their water systems. This includes offices, rental properties, care homes, and other commercial or residential premises.
There is no fixed legal frequency, but the HSE recommends reviewing your assessment whenever there is reason to believe it may no longer be valid — typically every two years, or sooner if there are significant changes to the property or water system.
For most residential and smaller commercial properties, the on-site inspection typically takes between one and two hours. We'll then provide you with a full written report and any recommendations.
Yes. Once the assessment is complete, we provide a full written risk assessment report documenting our findings, any identified risks, and recommended control measures. You can keep this on file to demonstrate compliance.
