There are some preparation steps you should take before our risk assessors arrive at your property. If you have previously had a risk assessment and you have the paperwork/records available this should speed up the testing and monitoring process.

If you have never had a test and do not know where your systems are, this wonât be a problem, as our team will be able to identify all water systems in your building.
