Legionella Assessment

A Legionella Assessment (often called a legionella risk assessment) helps you understand whether your propertys water system could allow legionella bacteria to grow and spread, and what you should do to control the risk. It is especially important for landlords, managing agents, employers and facilities teams responsible for hot and cold water systems, stored water, or infrequently used outlets. A professional assessor will review your system design and condition, check temperatures, identify stagnation risks (such as dead legs and low-use outlets), and consider how the system is used. You will receive a written report with a risk rating and a practical action plan covering control measures like flushing regimes, temperature management, cleaning and descaling, tank inspections and (where needed) disinfection. TradeSupermarket helps you find vetted, review-backed legionella assessors near you, so you can compare availability, experience and approach before booking. Whether you need a straightforward landlord assessment for a single let, or a more complex survey for HMOs, care settings, gyms or multi-let buildings, we help you connect with professionals who understand UK guidance and documentation expectations. Because legionella control is a health and safety issue, it is crucial to use competent people, keep records, and act on recommendations. Always ask for evidence of relevant training, current public liability insurance, and a sample report format, and ensure the assessor clearly explains what is urgent, what is advisory, and how often the assessment should be reviewed.
