Water systems in commercial and residential buildings can present a risk if not properly managed.

Whether it is a small property or a large commercial site, carrying out a proper assessment is a key part of maintaining safe water systems.
What a Legionella Risk Assessment Involves
A Legionella risk assessment looks at how water is stored, distributed and used within a building. It focuses on identifying conditions where bacteria could grow, such as stagnant water, incorrect temperatures or poorly maintained systems.
Alliance CFM carries out detailed Legionella assessments in Reading and surrounding counties, reviewing tanks, pipework, outlets and system design. The aim is to highlight any potential risks and provide clear recommendations on how to manage them.
Supporting Compliance and Duty of Care
Property owners, landlords and facilities managers have a responsibility to manage Legionella risk. This applies to a wide range of buildings including offices, schools, care homes and rental properties. A professional assessment provides documented evidence that risks have been considered and addressed. It also helps form the basis of an ongoing water safety plan, supporting compliance with health and safety guidance.
Practical Recommendations and Ongoing Management
Following the assessment, a report is provided outlining findings and recommended actions. These may include system adjustments, temperature control measures, cleaning routines or ongoing monitoring. Alliance CFM focuses on practical advice that can be implemented without unnecessary complication, helping clients manage their water systems in a straightforward and effective way.
