Landlords have a legal duty to assess and control the risk of legionella in rental properties. Best EPC provides clear, compliant legionella risk assessments across Leicester and the Midlands.
Legionella bacteria can grow in water systems and cause Legionnaires' disease, a serious form of pneumonia. A legionella risk assessment reviews a property's water system — tanks, pipework, outlets and temperatures — to identify and help control any risk.
Landlords have duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations, with guidance set out in the HSE's Approved Code of Practice L8. In practice this means you must assess and manage legionella risk in properties you let. While many domestic systems are low risk, you still need to have carried out and recorded an assessment.
It pairs naturally with a landlord EPC — book both in one visit and save a trip. Get in touch for a quote based on your property.
As a landlord you have a legal duty to assess and control legionella risk in your rental properties, and to keep a record of that assessment.
There's no fixed expiry, but you should review it periodically and whenever the water system or property use changes — every couple of years is common practice.
Pricing depends on the property's size and water system. Contact us with the details for a quote.
