Legionella Risk Assessments

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.
