Legionella Risk Assessments in Staffordshire
Ensuring your compliance with the HSE and ACOP L8 guidelines is essential to ensure the health and safety of your occupants.
Our team will conduct fully comprehensive risk assessments to identify any Legionella bacteria in your systems and provide on-site advice and solutions to ensure your systems are operating at the correct temperatures.
All risk assessments in Staffordshire are designed to be non-invasive, ensuring minimal disruption to your workplace. Assessments typically take no more than a few hours to complete depending on the number of water systems on the property and their locations. Water hygiene is essential to avoid the risk of Legionella bacteria forming.
What a Risk Assessment Includes
All Legionella risk assessments include the same core tests and actions. A risk assessor is sent to your property to identify the water systems running through it and check for the presence of Legionella bacteria.
Our Legionella risk assessment typically involves:
- A full comprehensive Legionella risk assessment
- An assessor who will check all water storage tanks and systems
- Water sampling
- Recording findings for future reference
- Advice and support to ensure your systems remain compliant
What Our Risk Assessors Do
Our risk assessors will first identify all water systems in your property for testing.
The risk assessment will then include conducting checks to see whether the water temperature for hot systems must remain above 60 degrees celsius, and 20 degrees celsius or lower for cold water systems. In basic terms, cold water must be kept cold and hot water must be kept hot.
They will also identify any systems that create a respirable aerosol, such as showers, hot tubs etc.
Frequently Asked Questions

Pest Control in Staffordshire
In Staffordshire, just like the rest of the UK, pests are a common problem for both commercial and private premises. Whilst dealing with them on your own is next to impossible, experienced professionals can solve pest problems quickly and effectively.
It’s essential to spot signs of infestation early (look for nesting materials and droppings) and phone experienced professionals immediately when you do. Orkin UK provides efficient and discreet pest control services to businesses in Staffordshire – and we’ll also advise on how to prevent future infestations.
Why You Need Pest Control in Staffordshire
It’s easy for rodents, insects and birds looking for shelter or nesting space to find their way into properties.
Once there, they quickly become a health hazard and can start driving away customers for business ventures. It can also make houses unsafe to live in and drive tenants away from rental accommodation. In some cases, such as in the hotel and restaurant trades, sightings of pests around the premises can even cause long-term reputational damage and financial loss.
