Legionella Risk Assessment FAQ’s
You will receive a fully comprehensive Legionella Risk Assessment helping you meet compliance.
How long will the risk assessment take?
Legionella Risk Assessments can take anywhere between 1-6 hours depending on your water system. However, small systems with less than 20 sinks/showers/baths often take between 1-2 hours on site. Our engineers will work closely with you to ensure minimal disruption to your business is caused.
What happens after the risk assessment?
After you have received your legionella risk assessment, you must ensure all remedial works are completed as part of your action plan. And implement a logbook for recording all legal duties and monitoring requirements.
Why do you need a legionella risk assessment?
Under general health and safety law, duty holders including employers and those in control of premises, must ensure the health and safety of their employees or others who may be affected by their undertaking. They must take suitable precautions to prevent or control the risk of exposure to legionella.
They also need to either understand, or appoint somebody competent who knows how to identify and assess sources of risk, manage those risks, prevent or control any risks, keep records and carry out any other legal duties they may have.
How much does a legionella risk assessment cost?
Legionella Risk Assessments vary in prices depending on the size of your building and often the number of water outlets included on your site. At Serviceteam our assessments start from £90 for smaller buildings such as small dental practices. Larger buildings require a more detailed risk assessment often with large plants and water outlets taking prices from £90 to in excess of £500.

Do you provide water testing/sampling?
Yes, in UKAS approved laboratories. However, legionella testing, water testing or sampling is not to be confused with a legionella risk assessment. Testing or sampling whilst not a legal required plays an important role in determining how efficient a water system is managed. Where as the legionella risk assessment will identify risk areas that may encourage proliferation. Water testing services include: legionella, e-coli, total viable count (TVC), Pseudomonas, hard water, chlorine free, pH levels and more.
When will I receive the risk assessment?
You will typically receive your legionella risk assessment between 2-10 working days from the date the assessment was carried out. From time to time, not often, our team will need a little more time, so please expect to have your report no later than 30 days. Need your risk assessment sooner?

When and how often do you need one?
The Approved Code of Practice L8 (HSG 274) in accordance with The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 states that – “The Duty holder should arrange to review the assessment regularly and specifically when there is reason to suspect it is no longer valid. An indication of when to review the assessment and what to consider should be recorded and this may result from:
- A change to the water system;
- A change to the use of the building where the system is installed;
- New information available about risks or control measures;
- The results of checks indicating that control measures are no longer effective;
- Changes to key personnel;
- A case of legionnaires disease.”
The common standard is annually for health care premises and biannually for all other premises. However, here at Serviceteam we recommend annual reviews to ensure correct implementation is being carried out.
