What is Legionella?
Legionella bacteria can grow in man-made water systems where water is stored or recirculated and conditions allow bacteria to multiply. Without monitoring and control, this can present significant health risks. Regular assessment is essential.
LEGIONELLA COMPLIANCE
Legal Duty
Landlords, letting agents and employers have a legal duty to assess and control the risk of Legionella bacteria in their properties.
D A Heating Ltd provides professional Legionella risk assessments for residential and commercial premises across Northamptonshire, helping you remain compliant while protecting tenants, staff and visitors.
We make the process straightforward, clear and manageable.
LEGIONELLA COMPLIANCE
Understanding Your Responsibilities
Health and safety legislation requires that duty holders identify potential sources of risk within hot and cold water systems and ensure suitable control measures are in place.
Failure to demonstrate that risks are assessed and properly managed can lead to serious legal and financial consequences.
WHAT WE DO
Our Legionella Risk Assessment Service Includes
Survey of the property’s water systems
Identification of potential risk areas
Temperature monitoring
Inspection of tanks, outlets and equipment
Recommendations for control measures
Clear written reports for your records
Low Risk Properties
In many residential properties with smaller domestic systems and regular water use, the risk may be low. Where this is the case, we confirm this within the report and advise on simple ongoing precautions, along with guidance on when the assessment should be reviewed.
Documentation & Annual Review
Once completed, documentation is provided for your records and can also be supplied directly to letting agents or property managers. We retain copies to assist with future reviews and renewals, helping you stay organised and compliant.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What Happens During a Visit?
When we attend your property, our aim is to assess risk efficiently while causing minimal disruption to tenants or occupants. A typical visit includes:
Reviewing the type and condition of the water system
Checking storage tanks and outlets where accessible
Identifying areas where water may stagnate
Highlighting factors that could encourage bacterial growth
Providing practical recommendations where required
Most assessments are straightforward and completed within a short visit, depending on the size and complexity of the property. Afterwards, you’ll receive clear documentation outlining the findings and any actions needed. We aim to make compliance simple, practical and easy to manage.
