What is Legionella?

Legionellosis is a collective term for diseases caused by legionella bacteria including the most serious Legionnaires’ disease, as well as the similar but less serious conditions of Pontiac fever and Lochgoilhead fever. Legionnaires’ disease is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia and everyone is susceptible to infection. It is easy for bacteria to grow if conditions are right so it is therefore important to control the risks by introducing appropriate measures outlined in in the Government Guidance mentioned earlier

Who needs to be concerned about testing for this?

If you are a landlord then you Landlord you have a responsibility to understand and minimise the risks from Legionella in your properties. This means complying the relevant section (in chapter 3) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The Health and Safety Executive clearly states that if you are ‘someone in control of premises, including landlords, you must understand the health risks associated with legionella.’

Who can carry out the testing?

It is important that you check that anyone carrying out testing for Legionella on your behalf is suitably competent to do so. In particular, ave an understanding of your water systems, the equipment associated with it such as pumps, heat exchangers, showers etc, and their constituent parts. They should be able to identify whether they are likely to create a risk from exposure to legionella, and whether:

the water temperature in all or some parts of the system is between 20–45 °C

water is stored or re-circulated as part of your system

there are sources of nutrients such as rust, sludge, scale, organic matter and biofilms

the conditions are likely to encourage bacteria to multiply

it is possible for water droplets to be produced and, if so, whether they can be dispersed over a wide area, e.g. showers and aerosols

it is likely that any of your, residents and visitors are more susceptible to infection due to age, illness, a weakened immune system etc. and whether they could be exposed to any contaminated water droplets

Where can I find out more information on Legionella?

More information can be found on the Health and Safety Website: here

The website worked well. I used SurveyDesignUK Ltd and am satisfied with the work carried out. It all worked well, got a number of quotes by email and calls by phone. Would use again.
Rhonda, Stoke Newington, London N16
Website very easy to use, no problems. Placed an order with Brownlow Associates. John Brownlow phoned me almost. All other companies who quoted also contacted me quickly by phone or email - impressive! Survey completed quickly and efficiently - John has been very helpful and informative. Excellent site, will definitely recommend and use again if I have need of a surveyor. Well done all round!!
Alison, Westhoughton, Bolton, Lancashire
No problems whatsoever with the website. I chose Potter & Co. The work has now been carried out – very much to my satisfaction. One of the primary reasons I used Mr Potter is that he took the time to research the property in question before making a very courteous call to me to explain his service and advise a revised quotation price. He was a pleasure to deal with and I am very pleased with the report Mr Potter undertook.
Emma, Norwich, Norfolk
Website Feedback: Really easy to use and efficient. Supplier Feedback: Absolutely brilliant guys, always available at the end of the phone. Booked in and turned work around quickly and results just so. Felt they were on my side and they were very personable and helpful when chatting through the results and actions on the phone. Would highly recommend them again and if I ever need this type of service again they will be my first choice.

I found the process very efficient. The survey was organised quickly and carried out with minimal fuss, and the surveyor gave a very honest and clear assessment. Would highly recommend.
