Legionella Water Sampling
We collect water samples from hot and cold water systems, cooling towers, spa pools, and other at-risk outlets in accordance with BS 7592 and HSE guidance. Each sample is transported to our accredited UKAS laboratory partner.
Our field operatives document all sampling locations and record outlet temperatures and system conditions at the time of the visit. This evidence forms part of your water safety log and demonstrates your duty of care.
Typical sampling locations include:
-
Hot and cold water storage tanks and calorifiers
-
Sentinel and representative outlet taps and showers
-
Spa pools, hydrotherapy pools, and water features
-
Dead legs, infrequently used outlets, and point-of-use filters
Legionella water testing and analysis for commercial properties, landlords, and facilities managers across the UK — accredited sampling, UKAS laboratory analysis, and clear written reporting.
Water safety you can prove.
Bespoke Compliance Solutions provides specialist Legionella water testing and analysis for commercial and residential properties throughout the United Kingdom. We work with landlords, facilities managers, care providers, and hospitality operators who need reliable evidence of Legionella risk management.
Our services are aligned with the Health and Safety Executive's Approved Code of Practice L8 and cover the full chain from field sampling to accredited laboratory analysis and formal written reporting.
All water samples are analysed at UKAS-accredited laboratories using ISO 11731 culture methods. The analysis detects and quantifies Legionella pneumophila (including serogroup 1) and other Legionella species.
Results are interpreted against the HSE's published action levels, so you receive a clear statement — compliant, monitoring recommended, or immediate remediation required — alongside the raw colony count data. A formal certificate of analysis is issued on traceable laboratory headed paper.
Why should you use a UKAS accredited Laboratory for legionella testing?
There are several reasons why you should use a UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) accredited laboratory to test for legionella:
-
Quality assurance: UKAS accreditation is a formal recognition that a laboratory is competent and operates in accordance with internationally recognized standards. This means that you can be confident that the laboratory has the technical competence, equipment, and facilities required to perform accurate and reliable testing for legionella.
-
Compliance with regulations: If you are required by law or regulation to test for legionella, using a UKAS accredited laboratory ensures that your testing is compliant with these requirements.
-
Independent verification: UKAS accreditation provides an independent verification of the laboratory's competence, so you can be sure that the results you receive are unbiased and reliable.
-
Risk management: Legionella can pose a significant risk to public health, and accurate testing is crucial for effective risk management. By using a UKAS accredited laboratory, you can be confident that the testing is accurate and reliable, which can help you identify and mitigate risks associated with legionella.
-
Reputation: Using a UKAS accredited laboratory demonstrates that you take legionella testing seriously and are committed to ensuring the safety of your employees, customers, or other stakeholders. This can help to enhance your reputation and build trust with your stakeholders.
-
Overall, using a UKAS accredited laboratory for legionella testing can help you to ensure that your testing is accurate, reliable, and compliant with regulations, while also demonstrating your commitment to public health and safety.
