Legionella NI
Legionella risk assessments in Northern Ireland
Legionella NI takes set-price bookings for legionella risk assessments and TMV assessments. Add details of your premises when booking, and a specialist will contact you to discuss access and arrange the appointment.
A working record for landlords and building managers
Landlords and those responsible for workplace premises need to assess and manage legionella risks in the water systems they control. A template can help organise information, but it cannot establish the condition of a particular system by itself. The specialist considers the premises, how water is stored and used, and the people who could be exposed.
The assessment records identified risks and recommended controls, providing a basis for ongoing water management. Keep it alongside monitoring and maintenance records. A completed assessment does not replace the routine checks or actions needed to keep those controls effective.
Booking, site checks and your assessment record
- 1
Select the assessment you need
Book legionella risk assessments for a review of risks within the property's water systems. TMV assessments focus on thermostatic mixing valves, which blend hot and cold water to control outlet temperature. If you are unsure which service fits, tell us why you need the assessment and a specialist will advise before you book at the set price.

Explain how the premises are used
Include the address, property type and who uses the building. Mention vacant rooms, infrequently used showers, stored water or occupants who may be particularly vulnerable. These details help the specialist understand conditions that a list of taps alone would miss.

Gather records and arrange access
A specialist will confirm the appointment arrangements. Have any previous assessments, temperature logs, flushing records and water-system plans available. Arrange access to relevant outlets, water heaters, storage tanks and plant areas, where present.
Buildings differ, and so do water systems
Experience of rented homes, commercial premises and intermittently occupied buildings helps a specialist consider how water is stored, circulated and used across Northern Ireland.

Book your water safety assessment
Choose legionella risk or TMV assessment, enter the premises details and book at the set price. A specialist will reply about the visit arrangements.
Water safety starts with knowing the system
How the building uses water
Tell the specialist about empty rooms, infrequently used outlets and periods when the premises close. Patterns of use matter because water can stagnate in parts of a system that receive little attention.
TMVs have a distinct purpose
Thermostatic mixing valves help limit scalding by blending hot and cold water. Book TMV assessments for questions about those valves; they are not a substitute for assessing legionella risks throughout the water system.
Review when circumstances change
An assessment should be reviewed regularly and when there is reason to think it is no longer valid. Changes to pipework, occupancy or water use can prompt a review rather than waiting for a fixed anniversary.
Match the booking to the premises
Book the chosen service at a set price. Include the property type, water-system details you already hold and any specific assessment requirements so the specialist can discuss the scope before attending.
