Legionella Remedial Works FAQ's
​
What Are Legionella Remedial Works?
Legionella remedial works refer to corrective actions to minimise the risk of legionella bacteria growing in a building’s water system. These works are typically identified in a legionella risk assessment and may involve addressing issues related to water stagnation, system design, usage, or the materials used in construction. The HSE’s ACoP L8 guidelines offer detailed instructions to help assessors identify areas that require modification to prevent legionella proliferation.
Why Do I Need Legionella Remedial Work?
Legionella remedial work is necessary to address any issues highlighted during a Legionella Risk Assessment, annual audit, or routine inspection that don’t meet safety standards or guidelines. These issues will be flagged in an exception report and must be corrected within a specific timeframe. The urgency of each issue is ranked to help prioritise the required actions.
How Long Will the Legionella Remedial Works Take?
Our engineers aim to complete legionella remedial work with minimal disruption to your operations. The duration of the job will depend on factors such as ease of access to the site and the scope of the necessary repairs. Please contact our team to discuss your specific situation for a more precise estimate.
What Should I Do After the Legionella Remedial Works Are Completed?
After remedial works are completed, it’s essential to regularly monitor the system to ensure that the corrective measures continue to effectively reduce the risk of legionella growth. This ongoing monitoring is a crucial part of our commitment to maintaining water safety. These actions close off the recommendations from the original Legionella Risk Assessment. Guidance on ongoing monitoring can be found in the HSE document HSG274 Parts 1, 2, and 3.
How Much Does Legionella Remedial Work Cost?
The cost of legionella remedial work depends on the size and complexity of the water system, the contamination level, and the remediation methods. For an accurate estimate, it’s essential to consult a qualified contractor, such as Titan Mechanical Services, to assess the work needed.
