Frequently Asked Questions
Does every rental property need a Legionella Risk Assessment?
Landlords are required to assess and manage risks associated with water systems. The level of risk will
depend on the property, its water systems and the circumstances of its use.
Do I receive a written report?
Yes. A professional written report is provided following the assessment.
How often should the assessment be reviewed?
There isn't a universal one-size-fits-all interval that applies to every property. The appropriate review period should take account of the property, its water system and any changes or circumstances that could affect the risk.
Do you carry out remedial work?
Our service is focused on assessment and reporting. Where remedial work or specialist intervention is recommended, this will be identified in the report.
