Survey every water system on site
Your consultant surveys every tank, pipe run, dead leg and outlet - cold water tanks, calorifiers, showers, cooling towers, rarely used outlets, emergency eyewash stations. You leave with a complete picture of your water systems, risk-rated, with schematic drawings your team can rely on.
One clear, prioritised L8 report
You get an L8-compliant risk assessment that satisfies an HSE inspector, with a prioritised remedial action list ranked by urgency - this week, this month, this quarter. Clear actions your team can act on. No 200-page filing job.

A Legionella management plan with temperature monitoring, flushing regimes, treatment protocols and named responsibilities. Control measure guidance on showerhead disinfection, dead leg flushing and temperature checks. A walkthrough ensures every finding is understood.

Sector-specific compliance
Builders Merchants
A nursery is a building full of small children, inspected by the Fire and Rescue Authority as well as Ofsted, so its fire risk sits in a category of its own. We assess the whole premises against the Fire Safety Order 2005 with that in mind.
Warehousing & Logistics
A large warehouse often has more plumbing than people, with showers and taps standing unused for days and sometimes evaporative cooling on top. Our ACOP L8 assessment finds the dead legs and low-use outlets, then sets a monitoring routine that suits a quiet welfare block.
Manufacturing & Engineering
Cooling towers, quench tanks and process water are the kind of systems ACOP L8 was written for. Our assessment covers both welfare water and these engineered systems, including cooling-tower notification and ongoing monitoring.
Garden Centres
Plant-display misting sprays water straight into the aisles where customers walk, which makes it one of retail's most overlooked Legionella sources, along with water features and the café. Our ACOP L8 assessment treats that misting as a genuine source and sets controls for it.
Metal Stockholders
Coolant systems, wash bays and unused yard taps create the warm, stagnant conditions Legionella needs, and they sit well outside the obvious plumbing. Our ACOP L8 assessment maps process water and welfare water together so nothing gets missed.
Childcare & Nurseries
Low-use showers and water play reach children who are more vulnerable to infection, which raises Legionella and scald risk at the same time. Our ACOP L8 assessment balances Legionella control against safe water temperatures for a setting full of young children.
