Water Hygiene Services
At LCS, our consultancy and sampling services give you complete clarity, confidence, and control over your Legionella management.
15+ years supporting leading organisations across the UK
Understand your water quality with professional water sampling and microbiological testing, supported by clear interpretation and practical guidance where action is required.
Maintain water quality with cold water storage tank inspection, cleaning and disinfection, helping identify and address contamination, sediment and poor tank condition.
Support safe hot water operation with calorifier and water heater inspection and blowdown, helping manage sediment and maintain effective system performance.
Keep thermostatic mixing valves operating correctly with planned failsafe testing and servicing, supporting effective temperature and scald-risk management.
Maintain the wider performance of your water systems with inspection and maintenance of expansion vessels, pumps, balancing valves and associated plant.
Water Sampling
Water sampling and microbiological testing provide valuable evidence about water quality and can support the investigation, verification and ongoing management of water hygiene risks. We provide professional sampling for Legionella and other relevant microbiological parameters, ensuring samples are taken using appropriate techniques and submitted for analysis as required. Results are reviewed in context so that, where an issue is identified, you receive practical guidance on what the findings mean and what action may be necessary.
Water Tank Maintenance
Cold water storage tanks require appropriate inspection and maintenance to prevent conditions developing that could adversely affect water quality. Our water tank inspection, cleaning and disinfection services help identify issues such as sediment, contamination, poor condition and other factors requiring attention. Where cleaning or disinfection is necessary, the work can be planned and completed as part of a wider water hygiene programme, helping ensure stored water is managed appropriately throughout the system.
Calorifier & Heater Maintenance
Calorifiers and water heaters play an important role in maintaining effective temperature control within hot water systems and require appropriate inspection and maintenance. Our calorifier and water heater maintenance services include inspection and blowdown activities designed to identify and manage sediment accumulation and other conditions that may affect water hygiene or system performance. These activities can be incorporated into a planned water hygiene programme to support the effective operation and management of hot water systems.
TMV Maintenance
Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs) help control water temperatures at the point of use, particularly where there is a risk of scalding, but they also require appropriate inspection, testing and maintenance. We provide TMV failsafe testing and servicing to confirm that valves are operating as intended and identify units requiring adjustment, maintenance or further attention. Planned TMV maintenance helps organisations balance scalding protection with the wider requirements of effective hot and cold water system management.
Other Plant Maintenance
Effective water hygiene management often depends on components beyond tanks, calorifiers and outlets. We provide inspection and maintenance support for associated water system plant including expansion vessels, pumps and balancing valves, helping identify issues that could affect circulation, temperature control, water movement or overall system performance. Bringing these activities into a coordinated maintenance programme can help address underlying system conditions rather than treating individual water hygiene problems in isolation.
