Legionella & Water Hygiene Services in Manchester

Water Hygiene & Legionella Compliance for Existing Manchester Buildings

We work with commercial and public sector buildings across Manchester that have existing water systems in place. Not new builds. Not domestic properties. Not one-off residential jobs.

Most Legionella compliance work doesn’t require a full system replacement. Existing pipework, tanks and infrastructure can often be retained, with targeted remedial works to remove risks, eliminate dead legs, and improve water flow and temperature control.

If you’re responsible for a building where the water system is ageing, non-compliant, or flagged in a Legionella risk assessment, we can help. We regularly work with:

• Buildings with complex water systems

  Large or older systems where stagnation, scale and poor temperature control increase Legionella risk.

• Commercial and high-risk premises

  Offices, care homes, schools, hotels and facilities with legal compliance responsibilities.

• Facilities managers & multi-site organisations

  Ongoing monitoring, testing and remedial programmes across multiple sites to maintain compliance.

Legionella Compliance & Legal Requirements in Manchester

Managing Legionella risk is a legal responsibility for duty holders across commercial, public and industrial buildings. If you control a property in Manchester, you are required to assess and manage the risk of Legionella bacteria within your water systems under UK health and safety law.

Compliance goes beyond a one-off test. It involves ongoing risk assessments, temperature control, water monitoring, system maintenance and accurate record-keeping. These requirements are set out in HSE ACOP L8 and HSG274 guidance. Failure to comply can result in enforcement action, fines, and serious health risks.

Legionella & Water Hygiene FAQs

• What is Legionella and why is it a risk?

  Legionella is a bacteria that can grow in water systems and cause Legionnaires’ disease when inhaled through fine water droplets. In commercial buildings, poor maintenance, stagnation, and incorrect temperatures can significantly increase the risk.

• Do I need a Legionella risk assessment in Manchester?

  Yes. If you are responsible for a commercial, public, or rental property, you have a legal duty to assess and control Legionella risk. This applies to offices, schools, care homes, hotels, and industrial premises across Manchester.

• How often should Legionella risk assessments be carried out?

  Risk assessments should be reviewed regularly and updated when there are changes to the system, building use, or if issues are identified. Many businesses review them every 1–2 years or sooner if required.

• What happens if my system is non-compliant?

  Non-compliance can lead to enforcement action, fines, and serious health risks. In most cases, issues can be resolved through remedial works such as tank cleaning, pipework adjustments, temperature control improvements, and ongoing monitoring.
