Our team of dedicated experts are on hand to make sure that your premises are safe and compliant with professional, reliable and cost-effective water remedial works for retail properties of all size, type and complexity. 

Legionella Remedial Works

With some retail premises being very large and having a lot of regular visitors, employees and customers, it is essential that proper water hygiene risk assessments are completed and that any required remedial works are carried out.  

A Legionella Risk assessment will identify what remediation is needed so you can see the level of risk that each item poses and what action is needed to resolve them. 

Remedial works can involve numerous different tasks depending on the type of systems involved, their age, condition and how it has been managed. Some of the typical water remedial works for legionella can include: 

• Removing all rust, sediment, limescale and other biofilms from water systems. 
• Upgrading the design of old, out of date or ineffective hot and cold-water systems. 
• Cleaning and servicing – showers, calorifiers, water storage tanks and thermostatic mixer valves. 
• The removal of any redundant pipework that creates dead ends where stagnant water can build up. 
• Installing and insulating pipework. 
• The installation and maintenance of water treatment equipment, dosing systems and thermostatic mixer valves. 
• Replacing, refurbishing and insulating cold water storage tanks.

Legionella Control in Retail Spaces

There are numerous types of retail facilities, from retail stores, hotels, beauticians, leisure centres and pubs to hairdressers, restaurants, cafes, shopping centres and many more. 

Within these buildings, there can be many water facilities and systems that are potential high-risk areas where legionella bacteria can colonise and lead to dangerous levels that contaminate the water and become a hazard to visitors. 

Because of the way these systems work, how the water is stored and the potential for it to become aerosolised, some of the most at-risk water systems include: 

• Pools, spas and hot tubs 
• Hot and cold-water systems 
• Water features 
• Cold-water storage tanks 
• Toilets and wash basins 
• Cooling towers
