Northern Ireland legionella risk assessment services
Legionella risk assessments in Northern Ireland
Legionella risk assessments across Northern Ireland.
What legionella risk assessments involves
Water systems can present a legionella risk even when the taps run normally and the water looks clean. A legionella risk assessment examines how water is stored, heated and circulated, where it may stagnate, and who could be exposed to droplets from showers or other outlets.
Landlords, employers and premises managers across Northern Ireland can book legionella risk assessments through Legionella NI at a set price for the agreed scope. A specialist examines the system and existing records, then documents the risks and the measures needed to control them.

How legionella risk assessments works with us
Records review
The specialist examines available assessments, temperature logs and maintenance records alongside details of occupancy and water use.
System tracing
The specialist identifies accessible storage, heating equipment, outlets and pipework arrangements that could allow stagnation.
Control checks
Relevant temperatures and visible system conditions are checked against the controls needed for the premises.
Risk documentation
The specialist records the findings, access limitations and prioritised recommendations in a written assessment.
When might these checks apply?
- There is no current assessment or nobody knows where the last report is kept.
- Rooms, showers or whole sections of the building are rarely used.
- Cold taps run noticeably warm, or hot water takes a long time to arrive.
- Plumbing alterations have left redundant pipework or changed the system layout.
- The building has reopened after a prolonged closure.
- Temperature checks and flushing records are missing or show recurring problems.

A record built around the premises
Usage matters as much as equipment
A busy workplace and a partly occupied rental property can have very different water-use patterns. The specialist considers occupancy, infrequently used outlets and people who may be more vulnerable to infection when judging the risk.
Forms need supporting evidence
A template can help organise information, but completing boxes does not establish whether the controls work. Site observations, relevant temperature readings and a review of maintenance records give the assessment its substance.
Actions with priorities
The report distinguishes existing controls from gaps that need attention. Recommendations may address stagnant pipework, temperature management, cleaning, flushing or record keeping, depending on what the specialist finds.
