Legionella Risk Assessments UK
Diagnostics-led assessments that go beyond compliance to identify real system risk and improve control.
Most risk assessments identify compliance gaps.
Ours identify how and where control is being lost.

Every environment presents different risks. Choose your sector to see how we approach compliance, control, and long-term stability.
What Is a Legionella Risk Assessment?
A Legionella Risk Assessment is a legal requirement under HSG274 and ACoP L8.
It identifies where Legionella risk exists within your water systems and ensures appropriate control measures are in place to protect users and maintain compliance.
At LCS, we assess your entire water network from mains and calorifiers to outlets, showers, and TMVs. Giving you a clear understanding of system risk and control.
What’s Included in Our Legionella Risk Assessment
Every assessment follows HSG274 Part 2 and ACoP L8, carried out by experienced assessors and reviewed by
Legionella specialists.
1. Site Survey & System Mapping – We inspect and record all water systems and outlets.
2. Compliance Review – We check your current management records and procedures.
3. Risk Evaluation – Each system is rated Low, Medium or High based on temperature, stagnation, and vulnerability.
4. Written Control Scheme – Clear, actionable measures for ongoing Legionella management.
5. Remedial Recommendations – Prioritised actions with realistic timescales.
6. Schematics & Evidence – Diagrams and photos help visualise key plant areas.
You receive a professional report and control plan aligned with all current
HSE and
LCA guidance.
Why Most Risk Assessments Miss Critical Risk
Most Legionella problems start long before a risk assessment they start with poor, outdated, or inaccurate schematics.
We regularly discover:
- Drawings that do not reflect the real system
- Missing assets (showers, dead legs, tanks, sentinel points)
- “Copy-paste schematics” reused by previous consultants
- System updates never added to the drawing
- Conflicts between the RA and the schematic
This creates dangerous blind spots, leading to missed risks and incorrect control measures.
✔ We specialise in creating accurate, compliant, engineer-grade schematics
As part of your assessment or a stand-alone consultation, we:
- Inspect your full system layout
- Map every key asset and flow route
- Correct historic drawing errors
- Update designs after system changes
- Provide digital-ready schematic files
- Ensure your RA and drawings align 100%
Result: You receive a schematic you can trust, one that finally reflects your real water system and supports full compliance.

Legionella Watch Diagnostics for Complex or High-Risk Sites
For many organisations, the real challenge starts after the assessment.
Maintaining compliance, monitoring system performance, and preventing recurring issues.
This is where Legionella Watch supports ongoing control through real-time system visibility and data-led insight.
Most providers stop at reporting issues. We find the source of them.
For sites with:
- Recurring positives
- Inconsistent temperature results
- Ageing infrastructure
- High-risk populations
- Multi-building estates
We bring in Legionella Watch to provide data-led diagnostics:
- Real-time temperature + flow
- Stagnation behaviour
- Non-conformances as they happen
- Predictive issue modelling
- Digital audit trails
Combining expert assessment with real-time data gives you a level of clarity traditional approaches cannot achieve.
Risk Assessment Pricing & Frequency
Pricing depends on:
- System complexity
- Building size
- Number of outlets
- Type of property
- Requirement for schematics
Most commercial assessments range from £250 – £6,500 depending on category.
How often do you need one?
Every 2 years, or sooner if:
- Systems have been modified
