Our process
Our Legionella Risk Assessment goes beyond providing a simple report. We offer you insight into the compliance of your water systems, offering actionable advice you can use to help safeguard your premises and people. At H2O Hygiene, we take a four-step approach to helping you maintain compliance.
1. Evaluating your current system
Our process starts with a complete mapping and evaluation of your water system and an inspection of the water temperatures in key areas of your premises. This includes analysing your hot and cold water systems, pipework and key system components such as cold water storage tanks and hot water storage cylinders, to get a full view of your water-related assets. We use this information to create a detailed schematic drawing for use in your Legionella Risk Assessment.
2. Identifying potential stagnation
Areas of stagnation are a significant risk for bacterial growth, which can occur in outlets such as taps that are less often used. Dead legs in plumbing and heavily scaled showerheads also contribute to stagnant water. We identify all areas of concern with an actionable outcome to help you prevent recurrence.
3. Assessing the condition of your plant
A full Legionella Risk Assessment, including a review of the condition of relevant plant and equipment, enables our team to identify risks associated with damaged or defective assets. The presence of rust, scale, biofilm, and organic matter within pipework and storage tanks can create conditions that support the growth of Legionella and other harmful bacteria.
4. Assessment report and action plan
The final stage of a Legionella Risk Assessment in Swindon is your report. This detailed assessment outlines any compliance gaps in your water system at present, in addition to clear processes to remedy these issues. Our team can provide ongoing support to help you resolve any issues and to support your compliance objectives.

Benefits of Legionella water testing in Swindon
1. Supporting compliance with the UK’s legal requirements
Our team at H2O Hygiene provides clear information on any remedial actions identified through our Legionella Risk Assessment services. We carry out a thorough assessment of your water system and provide appropriate guidance to help you meet relevant requirements, including the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations, the Health and Safety at Work Act, ACoP L8, and HSG274 guidance.
2. Meet health and safety guidance
The health and safety of your employees, customers, and the public is a legal requirement. A Legionella Risk Assessment provides the foundation for determining whether your premises are being managed in line with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance. At H2O Hygiene, we prioritise the safety of your premises when carrying out Legionella Risk Assessments, providing advice on temperature control, disinfection, and maintenance to help you manage and reduce the risks of Legionella
3. Reduced risk of Legionnaires’ disease
Legionella bacteria can pose a significant risk, particularly to vulnerable individuals, and infection can be serious. These bacteria may grow in water systems where conditions such as stagnation or poor temperature control are present. Regular Legionella Risk Assessments are important for identifying conditions that may increase risk, allowing appropriate control measures to be implemented to manage and reduce that risk.
4. A cost-effective solution
Regular Legionella Risk Assessments play an important role in helping you manage potential costs associated with your water system. If risks are not identified and addressed, this can lead to issues such as system deficiencies, operational disruption, or potential legal consequences. By carrying out an assessment, you gain a clearer understanding of your system and any conditions that may require attention, allowing you to plan and prioritise remedial actions in a controlled and cost-effective way.
5. Clear, actionable recommendations
Our Legionella Risk Assessment service at H2O Hygiene goes beyond providing a simple report following our inspection. Our experienced engineers will also provide a full actionable plan to support you in taking the right steps to keep your premises compliant. These clear guidelines make it easy for you to get on top of water management, keeping your systems free from contamination.

“Since the start of our relationship, the team at H2O have been nothing but accommodating towards our needs. Nothing is too much trouble and they’ve been able to support on some large projects, including a full fire damper survey & works, as well as taking over a large water hygiene regime. The H2O team are always professional and polite in our challenging environments, while remaining thorough in what they do. I highly recommend H2O Hygiene!”

“I have built up a close working relationship with H2O. Primarily to ensure that the client was happy with our services. During my time as a contract manager I have worked with numerous water companies. H2O are the first company that fill me with trust. This then gave us reassurance that work was being carried out to the latest L8. Ensuring that we and our client are kept compliant at a reasonable price.”
