We provide fully-accredited Legionella testing in Derby and the surrounding areas. With accreditations and memberships with CHAS, Constructionline, Safecontractor, and the Legionella Control Association, we are one of the most trusted providers of Legionella services in the UK.

Legionella is a harmful bacteria that can be found in any purpose-built water system. When humans are exposed to breathable water droplets infected with the bacteria, it can lead to serious illnesses including the potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease. 

Legionella water testing is therefore essential to ensure the health and safety of occupants and workers of a building. Get peace of mind with our Legionella testing services carried out by trained technicians in line with ACOP L8, HSG274 and HTM 04-01 (Healthcare) legislation.

    How Often Do I Need to Test for Legionella?

    The standard for an in-house written control scheme is monthly water checks. Systems should be flushed weekly and this should be recorded each time. However, if you do not have this then we recommend our monthly water monitoring services. 

    If you do have an in-house scheme of water checking and are confident that you are recording these correctly, we recommend our six-monthly checks. This is to ensure your results are completely correct and that the proper steps for inspections are followed.
