Legionella Risk Assessment in Northern England
Swiftclean’s experienced team delivers thorough, dependable and efficient Legionella risk assessments across the North of England.
Northern England Legionella Risk Assessments
Legionella is a waterborne bacterium that can be found in both natural environments and manmade water systems, including hot and cold-water supplies, cooling towers, air conditioning units and spa pools. If inhaled in aerosol form, this bacterium can cause Legionnaires’ disease – a severe form of pneumonia that can lead to hospitalisation or even death in vulnerable individuals.
In Northern England, from major cities like Manchester and Leeds to rural commercial sites and care homes, Legionella risk management is essential. It’s a legal obligation for those responsible for water systems and a vital part of maintaining safe and compliant premises.
Why Legionella Risk Assessments Matter
Whether you’re a facilities manager for a school in Newcastle, run a hotel in Leeds or oversee maintenance for a distribution centre in Sheffield, you are required by law to assess and control the risk of Legionella.
At Swiftclean, we provide detailed, professional Legionella risk assessments throughout the North of England. These inspections are designed to highlight any vulnerabilities in your water systems and provide clear steps to minimise the risk of bacterial growth. They’re essential for compliance with UK legislation, including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the COSHH Regulations.
Our Legionella assessments take into account a variety of risk factors, such as:
- Storage conditions of water tanks and pipework
- Water temperatures (between 20–50°C is ideal for Legionella growth)
- Stagnant areas and infrequently used outlets
- Evidence of scale, rust or debris
- Possibility of aerosol formation from showers, taps or other sources

What to Expect from a Swiftclean Risk Assessment
Every property is different, so we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. We begin with a site survey, during which our assessors will review all relevant areas of your water system to identify potential risks.
From high-rise tower blocks in Liverpool to care homes in Bradford, we adjust our inspection methods to suit your building’s design, use and occupancy level.
As part of the assessment, we’ll typically include:
- A full asset inspection and risk classification
- Temperature checks at multiple outlets
- Visual inspection of water storage units
- Photographic records of any concern areas
- Review of your current control measures and maintenance regime
- Recommendations and prioritised actions to improve compliance
Where appropriate, water samples will be collected and analysed by UKAS-accredited laboratories. These labs are enrolled in national proficiency schemes to ensure accurate, reliable results.
