Legionella Control and Water Hygiene Services across Leeds and West Yorkshire
Responsible for the water systems in a building? You need a team that reduces the risk, not one that just completes paperwork.
Water Hygiene Services is an independent Leeds-based specialist with more than 23 years' experience in Legionella control and water hygiene. We help estates, facilities and building managers, landlords, housing providers, schools and healthcare sites meet their duties under HSG274, and keep the records to prove it. We cover roughly 100 miles from Leeds, across Yorkshire, the North East, the North West, the East Midlands and Humberside.
We recommend only what genuinely reduces risk. We assess each system on its merits, so cleaning, sampling and monitoring are proposed when they add control, and not otherwise.

What are my legal responsibilities under HSG274 and ACoP L8?
ACoP L8 is HSE's Approved Code of Practice on the control of Legionella bacteria in water systems, supported by the technical guidance in HSG274. If you are an employer, landlord or manage a building, you must identify and assess sources of risk, put controls in place and keep accurate records. You must also appoint a competent person to manage this, and act quickly if monitoring shows a problem.
Can Water Hygiene Services manage our compliance?
The legal duty remains yours as the duty holder. What we provide is the expertise and the evidence: risk assessments, remedial works, monitoring, sampling and records, so that your systems are safe and your documentation is complete.

would recommend them to other establishments Ingram Road Primary have been working with WHS since 2011. They are very helpful, and complete a full risk assessment prior to their monthly monitoring so you know exactly where any problems may lie. They also offer a full remedial service too which is competitively priced and would recommend them to other establishments.
