Frequently Asked Questions – Legionella in Residential Properties

  • What is a legionella risk assessment for a residential property?

    A legionella risk assessment for a residential property is a professional evaluation of a home’s water systems — including hot and cold water, storage tanks, showers, taps — to identify where legionella bacteria could become a risk. It shows what preventive measures are needed to keep occupants safe and ensure legal compliance.

  • Who needs a legionella risk assessment in a residential property?

    If you own or let a residential property — whether it's a house, flat, or multi‑unit dwelling — you are responsible for ensuring a legionella risk assessment is conducted. Landlords, homeowners, or letting agents must make sure the water systems are safe, even if the risk seems low.

  • How often should a residential property get a legionella risk assessment?

    Residential properties should have their risk assessment reviewed regularly, typically every two years, or sooner if the water systems are changed, new plumbing work is done, or there are periods when parts of the property are unused or vacant.

  • What does a residential legionella risk assessment include?

    It includes inspecting hot‑water cylinders or tanks, cold‑water storage, pipes, taps, showers, and other outlets. It reviews water temperature, identifies stagnant water spots, checks maintenance and cleaning routines, and provides a report of findings along with recommended control measures.

  • What are the legal requirements for legionella risk assessments in residential properties?

    Under UK legislation (e.g. HSE’s ACOP L8 / HSG274), those in control of a residential property have a duty to assess and manage the risk from legionella. The law requires a “suitable and sufficient” risk assessment, record keeping of findings, and implementation of any needed control measures.

  • What steps can I take to reduce legionella risk in my residential property?

    Some simple steps include:


    Keeping hot water stored at 60°C or above and ensuring it reaches at least 50°C at outlets after one minute


    Maintaining cold water below 20°C where possible


    Flushing seldom‑used outlets & taps regularly


    Cleaning and descaling showerheads


    Removing redundant pipework or unused water storage where feasible
