For those who own, manage or oversee a hotel, there are numerous requirements, safety measures, protocols and processes that need to be followed in order to ensure that the premises are efficient, well-run and of course safe.
One of the key areas where compliance and safety is paramount is water hygiene, which works to help control Legionella and other potentially harmful bacteria. At Swiftclean, our professional team is on hand to take care of your water systems maintenance, servicing, testing and remedial works for you, for reliable and cost-effective compliance.
Legionella in Hotels
The hospitality industry is all about providing safe, clean and comfortable accommodation for guests so that they can enjoy their stay. A part of this is making sure that the water is clean and safe throughout, from the drinking water to the showers, to the pools, spas or water features.
If these water systems are not properly tested and maintained, then they can create the perfect breeding ground for legionella bacteria. If water that is contaminated with Legionella is aerosolised and the droplets breathed in, then it can cause Legionnaires disease, a potentially fatal type of pneumonia.
The dedicated experts at Swiftclean can take care of your hotel’s water systems for you, keeping them safe from Legionella with effective control, management, cleaning and remedial works.

How Do I Know What Remedial Works Are Needed?
With large premises such as hotels, it is essential that water hygiene risk assessments are completed and that required actions and remedial works are carried out.
The remedial works will be identified and listed with details in the recommendations section of the Legionella Risk assessment. Here you should be able to see what, if any risks were identified, the level of risk that they pose and what actions need to be taken to reduce or resolve them.
Remedial works can involve numerous different tasks and the type and number of works needed will depend on the condition of the system and how well it has been maintained. Some of the jobs involved can include:
- Removal of rust, sediment, limescale and other biofilms from water heaters, cold water storage tanks, system pipework, calorifiers and other assets.
- Upgrading the existing hot and cold-water systems design to help minimise the risk of legionella.
- Cleaning and servicing things such as showers, calorifiers, water storage tanks and thermostatic mixer valves.
- Removing any redundant pipework which causes dead ends where stagnant water can build up.
- Installing and insulating pipework.
- Installation and maintenance of water treatment equipment, dosing systems and thermostatic mixer valves.
- Replacing, refurbishing and insulating cold water storage tanks
