Everything you need to show that the risk from your water systems is assessed, controlled and recorded, from a Leeds-based, independent team. Choose the service you need, or start with a risk assessment if you are not sure.
Water Hygiene Services works for estates managers, facilities managers and building and property managers. Our services follow HSG274, supporting ACoP L8, and we are a member of the Legionella Control Association.
Not sure where to start?
Start with a Legionella risk assessment. It tells you what the risks are, what is needed to control them and which of the services below you need. If you already have an assessment, we can review it and tell you whether it is still suitable.
Legionella risk assessment
A survey of your hot and cold water systems, a written report and a prioritised action plan.
Monitoring and planned preventive maintenance
Temperature checks, flushing, inspections and a complete logbook, on a fixed schedule.
UKAS water sampling
Samples taken to recognised standards, analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory, with results explained in plain English.
Legionella remedial works
Dead legs, pipework, tanks, valves and TMVs: the corrective work your risk assessment calls for.
Closed system water testing (BG 29 and BG 50)
Independent sampling and testing of heating and chilled water systems, for new buildings and for running systems.
