Legionella Risk Assessments

What Is a Legionella Risk Assessment?

A legionella risk assessment is a systematic process for identifying and evaluating sources of risk associated with Legionella bacteria in water systems. At Teal Water, we inspect water tanks, cooling towers, and hot and cold water systems to assess potential hazards.

We also investigate pipework configurations, check thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs), and inspect any decorative fountains and spa pools on the premises. Our assessments are conducted in accordance with UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, specifically adhering to the ACOP L8 and HSG274 standards, to prevent Legionnaires' disease outbreaks.

We use temperature profiling and water sampling techniques, which help in determining ideal conditions for bacterial growth. Our detailed reports outline any remedial actions required and the associated timelines to rectify the identified risks.

How Much Does a Legionella Risk Assessment Cost?

A legionella risk assessment costs from around £200 to £450, depending on the size and complexity of the premises. We factor in specific elements such as the type of water systems, including hot and cold water systems, cooling towers, and spa pools, which can impact the overall risk level.

The building's age is also significant, as older buildings may have outdated pipework that requires more detailed inspection. Additionally, we consider usage patterns, with high-traffic locations like hotels, leisure centres, and hospitals often needing more frequent assessments due to increased water circulation.

At Teal Water, our service complies with the Health and Safety Executive's Approved Code of Practice L8, ensuring thorough and reliable risk assessments. Contact us for a precise quote based on your specific requirements.
