Legionella Risk Assessments for Landlords
If you're a landlord, you're legally required to assess the risk of Legionella bacteria in your rental property's water system.
Our service includes:
Legionella is a bacteria that can develop in water systems and cause Legionnaires’ disease — a potentially serious form of pneumonia. It thrives in warm, stagnant water, making domestic plumbing systems a possible risk if not properly managed.
Do you need a Legionella Risk Assessment?
Yes — under Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance, landlords must ensure their properties are safe and free from health hazards, including Legionella. While a full laboratory test isn’t usually required, a professional risk assessment is essential, especially for properties with older plumbing or water storage systems.
​
Our service includes:
​
-
A full visual inspection of water systems
​​
-
Temperature checks and risk identification
​​
-
Practical advice to reduce risk
​​
-
A written report for your records
​​
Peace of mind for landlords and tenants alike.
We offer Legionella Risk Assessments as a standalone service or alongside your EPC visit for added convenience.
