What Is Included in a Commercial Legionella Risk Assessment?
What will our experts carry out while assessing your commercial property?
Our Commercial Legionella Risk Assessment involves a thorough evaluation of all water sources in your commercial premises to identify potential sources of Legionella bacterium. Our assessment includes:
- Inspection of all water sources (water outlets, water heaters, pipework, and cold water systems) to determine sources of risk and assess risk levels for Legionella bacteria.
- Evaluating risk to humans, especially vulnerable people, and identifying key risk systems.
- Water temperature checks to ensure that conditions are not conducive to bacteria in water systems, as Legionella cannot thrive in water above 50°C and certainly not above 60°C.
- Determining if any Legionella bacterium is present in the hot water systems or cold water systems.
- Implementing necessary safety measures to control Legionella bacteria and minimise health risks.
- Recording findings and producing an accurate record in a Commercial Legionella Risk Assessment Report, which you will receive on the same day.
All of our commercial assessments are conducted by a competent person, ensuring compliance with complex requirements and regulatory requirements. Assessments typically take between 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the control of premises and risk factors present.
At the end of your commercial assessment, you will receive a fully compliant Commercial Legionella Risk Assessment Audit Report, detailing your adherence to the latest legal requirements and duty of care obligations.

How Much Does a Commercial Legionella Risk Assessment for a Commercial Property Cost?
The cost of a commercial Legionella risk assessment depends on several factors, including the size of the premises, the complexity of the water system, and the number of hot and cold water systems. Larger or more complex water systems may require additional testing and ongoing monitoring, especially in high-usage facilities.
While UK market prices typically range from £200 – £3,000, our assessments start at just £79, making them a cost-effective option for businesses, property managers, and building owners. Rather than applying a fixed rate, we offer personalised quotes to match the specific needs of each property, ensuring fair and accurate pricing.
Factors That Determine the Cost of a Commercial Legionella Risk Assessment
The price of an assessment varies based on:
- Commercial property location and accessibility
- Size of the building and its water systems
- Complexity of hot and cold water systems and overall risk control
- Number of commercial premises requiring regular testing
- Discounts for property managers with multiple buildings needing assessments
All of these factors contribute to the final cost while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and reducing the risk of exposure to Legionella bacteria.
How Often Should You Get a Commercial Legionella Risk Assessment?
Although it is not completely necessary, it is strongly advised that you conduct a Commercial Legionella Risk assessment annually to keep the risk of Legionnaires’ Disease and other hazards caused by bad water hygiene to a minimum.
Businesses should also consider conducting a Commercial Legionella Risk Assessment as soon as one of the following changes occur:
- A reported outbreak of Legionnaires’ Disease in your business’s area.
- A change of water system in the commercial property/building.
If the water system in your commercial premises has been moved to a different part of the building. If the purpose of the location where your water system is based has changed.
Commercial Legionella Risk Assessments for Businesses
Protect Your Business from Legionella Bacteria
Business owners have a legal requirement to ensure the health risks associated with bacteria in water systems are controlled. This includes safeguarding building occupants, employees, and customers by ensuring water used within the premises is safe for use and consumption. Conducting regular legionella risk assessments helps prevent risk of exposure, reducing potential risk factors for the people who rely on your facilities.
Legal Requirements for Commercial Properties
Under regulatory requirements, commercial duty holders, including building owners and property managers, must assess and manage the risk of legionella within their premises. Failing to comply can lead to penalties for businesses, making it crucial to stay on top of routine testing and maintenance to keep your building safe. Keeping accurate records of regular testing ensures compliance and minimises risk to humans.
Higher Risk for Larger Business Premises
Larger businesses often have more complex requirements than domestic properties due to the risk systems involved in hot water systems and cold water systems. These premises are at a greater risk of legionella due to water droplets carrying bacteria in water systems, which can lead to severe forms of Legionnaires’ disease. Businesses operating in large buildings must take additional measures to prevent exposure to legionella bacteria, including regular basis monitoring and control of premises strategies.
Managing Legionella Risk Assessments for Multiple Locations
If your business has multiple locations, each commercial premises must be assessed individually. Many property managers and business owners lack the time to oversee regular testing at all sites, which can increase risk levels. Hiring a competent person to handle all commercial Legionella risk assessments ensures each property remains compliant. We can set up routine testing schedules, making it easier for you to fulfill your duty of care while ensuring people safe working environments.
