What Is Legionella Testing?

Legionella testing involves taking water samples from selected points within a building’s water system and sending them for laboratory analysis to check for the presence of Legionella bacteria.

Testing is not always required in every building, but it can play an important role where risk assessments indicate a need for closer monitoring, where control measures may not be performing effectively, or where high-risk systems and users are involved.

Our service helps you understand whether further action is needed and supports informed decision-making around system management, cleaning, disinfection, and remedial works.

What’s Included in Our Legionella Testing Service?

Our Legionella testing service is designed to give duty holders a clear picture of system conditions and any microbiological risks that may require further control measures.

Review of System & Sampling Requirements

Before sampling begins, we review the building, system type, previous risk assessment findings, and the purpose of testing to determine the most appropriate sampling points and approach.

Water Sampling

Samples are taken from identified outlets, tanks, calorifiers, showers, taps, and other relevant assets within the water system, depending on site conditions and risk profile.

Laboratory Analysis

Samples are submitted for analysis to determine whether Legionella bacteria is present and whether results indicate the need for review, retesting, or remedial action.

Results Reporting

You receive clear reporting that explains the findings, outlines any concerns, and helps you understand the next steps in relation to compliance and system control.

Follow-Up Advice

Where required, we can support with resampling, tank cleaning, disinfection, monitoring programmes, and recommendations for remedial works to reduce future risk.

When Is Legionella Testing Needed?

Legionella testing is usually carried out where there is a specific reason to monitor bacterial levels or investigate possible system risks. It is often used as part of a wider water hygiene strategy rather than as a standalone measure.

Following a Legionella Risk Assessment

If a risk assessment identifies system conditions that increase the likelihood of bacterial growth, testing may be recommended to support monitoring and review.

After Remedial Works or Disinfection

Sampling may be required after tank cleaning, system disinfection, or remedial works to check whether risk has been reduced and control measures are working as intended.

Where Control Measures Are Failing

If temperature control, turnover, or general system management is not performing effectively, Legionella testing can help assess whether bacterial risk may be increasing.

For High-Risk Premises or Systems

Certain environments and complex water systems may require closer monitoring depending on occupancy, vulnerable users, and system characteristics.

After Periods of Low Use

Buildings that have experienced low occupancy, temporary closure, or changes in usage may require additional review and, in some cases, water sampling as part of recommissioning or risk management.

Who Uses Our Legionella Testing Services?

We provide Legionella sampling and testing for a wide range of duty holders and responsible persons across Manchester.

Commercial Buildings

Offices, retail units, warehouses, and mixed-use premises often require water hygiene monitoring as part of ongoing compliance management.

Care Homes, Schools & Public Buildings

Buildings with higher-risk user groups or more complex compliance requirements may require more structured testing and control measures.

Hotels & Leisure Facilities

Shower systems, stored water, variable occupancy, and extensive outlet networks can increase the need for close monitoring and testing.

Industrial & Complex Sites

Larger and more specialist systems may require a more detailed testing strategy depending on site use, system design, and operational risks.

If you are unsure whether Legionella testing is appropriate for your premises, we can review your requirements and advise on the right approach.

Legionella Testing and Legal Compliance

Duty holders are legally required to assess and manage Legionella risk within their water systems. While Legionella testing is not mandatory in every case, it can form part of a suitable monitoring strategy where justified by risk assessment findings, system conditions, or site-specific concerns.

Testing should always be considered alongside other control measures such as temperature monitoring, flushing, tank inspections, cleaning, and system maintenance. A compliant water hygiene strategy is based on risk assessment, monitoring, and practical risk reduction rather than testing alone.

• Supports review of existing control measures
• Helps identify whether bacterial risk may be present
• Can inform remedial action and further investigation
• Useful for record-keeping and compliance review

How Often Should Legionella Testing Be Carried Out?

The frequency of Legionella testing depends on the type of building, the water system, the findings of the risk assessment, and whether there are any known concerns with system control measures.

Some sites may only require testing occasionally, while others may need regular sampling as part of a formal monitoring programme. Higher-risk premises, vulnerable user groups, and complex systems often require a more structured approach.

• Testing frequency should reflect the system risk profile
• Additional testing may be needed after remedial works or disinfection
• Review may be required after changes in occupancy or system use
• Monitoring programmes should be based on current assessment findings

We can advise on an appropriate Legionella sampling schedule for your building and compliance needs.
