Professional water system monitoring, compliance reporting, and legal landlord protection.
Legionella bacteria can multiply rapidly in domestic water systems where water is stored, stagnant, or kept between 20–45°C. Fix-A-Lot provides comprehensive, independent risk assessments across County Durham to identify potential hazards and keep your property fully compliant.
Why Do You Need an Assessment?
- ⚖️ Legal Requirement: Landlords, letting agents, and employers hold a statutory duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and COSHH regulations to manage risk.
- 🛡️ Tenant Protection: Prevents exposure to dangerous airborne water droplets (aerosols) from showers, taps, and stored water tanks.
- 📋 Clear Action Plan: Delivers simple, budget-friendly maintenance steps to permanently lower your risk score.
- 🏠 Vacancy Security: Vital for properties or rental assets that have sat empty between letting tenancies.
What the Assessment Covers
During a thorough physical inspection of your domestic water infrastructure, I check:
- Storage Systems: Evaluating the condition of cold-water storage tanks and hot water cylinders.
- Thermal Mapping: Taking precise temperature readings across your plumbing system to identify breeding zones.
- Pipework Auditing: Checking the overall layout and identifying “dead legs” (stagnant, unused sections of pipe).
- Outlets & Aerators: Inspecting showers, taps, and infrequently used outlets for limescale or sludge build-up.
- The Official Report: You receive a comprehensive, professional written risk register detailing exact findings and remedial recommendations.
