Is a Legionella Risk Assessment a Legal Requirement in Northamptonshire?
Yes. Legionella assessments in Northamptonshire are a legal requirement under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH). All businesses, landlords, and responsible persons must comply with HSE ACoP L8, which mandates the identification and control of Legionella risks in water systems. Failure to comply can result in prosecution, unlimited fines, enforcement action, or imprisonment — particularly if illness occurs on your premises

What Does Our Northamptonshire Legionella Risk Assessment Include?
Our qualified assessors visit your Northamptonshire premises and carry out a thorough, fully documented inspection of all water systems. Every assessment includes:
- Full identification and mapping of all hot and cold water systems
- Temperature testing and assessment of stagnation and biofilm risks
- Inspection of tanks, showers, outlets, and aerosol-generating equipment
- Photographic evidence of findings and a full bespoke Legionella risk assessment report in PDF format
- Prioritised remedial action recommendations compliant with HSE ACoP L8 and HSG274
- Guidance on appointing a Responsible Person and establishing a written control scheme
How Often Is a Legionella Risk Assessment Required?
Legionella risk assessments should be reviewed every two years, or sooner if circumstances change — such as alterations to the water system, a change in building use, or the availability of new HSE guidelines. For residential landlords across Northamptonshire, a fresh assessment before each new tenancy is strongly recommended to demonstrate due diligence
