Expert Legionella Risk Assessment across the North West
Landlords remain responsible for considering Legionella risk in rented homes. iComply writes a scoped Legionella risk assessment for single lets, small portfolios, blocks and workplaces across Greater Manchester and the wider North West — from Offerton, Stockport SK2.
A typical house with a combi boiler and no stored cold-water tank is often lower risk than a property with tanks, unused en-suites or a shared system. We still need to see or be told how water is stored and used. The written note is for your management file, not a substitute for ongoing flushing if that is the agreed control.
Sampling is a tool, not the whole service. We do not invent a legal “annual water test” for every terrace. Quotes are POA after you send the postcode, property type and a short note on stored water or plant.
Landlord risk assessment
A written look at stored water, outlets, temperatures and who does the controls — aligned with HSE Approved Code of Practice L8 and HSG274, not a made-up certificate product.
Testing when useful
Water samples are recommended only when the system and occupancy justify them. Not a default extra on every let.
Honest commercial terms
Every job is price on application. We do not publish fake starting fees, annual “must-test” prices or laboratory badges we have not stated.
What a landlord Legionella assessment covers
UK dutyholders use HSE ACOP L8 and HSG274 as the usual reference for managing Legionella risk. An assessment typically records water storage, outlets, temperatures, little-used parts of the system and who is responsible for flushing or temperature checks.
We describe the system you actually have. We will not claim a medical diagnosis service or a guaranteed “disease-free” building. Legionnaires’ disease is the illness; Legionella is the bacterium — the property duty is to manage the risk in water systems.
When water samples help — and when they do not
Testing without a risk picture is easy to over- or under-do. Assessment comes first. Sampling is useful on some stored-water or complex systems and is quoted separately as POA if recommended.
A result is evidence at a point in time, not a certificate that the building is safe forever. Control measures (flushing, temperature, cleaning) still matter. Laboratory identity and method are confirmed at quote stage — this page does not invent a UKAS claim.
Review, not a date we invented
Review when the system or occupancy changes, and at an interval that matches risk — not a calendar date invented for marketing. Many landlords book water hygiene in the same conversation as an EICR or gas safety record. Each item is still scoped and POA.

What clients say
Landlords, agents and facilities teams across the North West on compliance, certification and install work.
★★★★★“Needed EICR certificates across a small rental portfolio before a new tenancy. The engineer was on time, explained the remedial work clearly and the paperwork arrived the same day. Exactly what a landlord needs.”
★★★★★“We had a BS 5839 fire alarm service due on a multi-let block in Manchester. Icomply booked us in within the week, flagged a few panel issues early and left us with clean certification for the freeholder.”
★★★★★“Gas safety (CP12) and emergency lighting testing done on the same visit for our agency stock. Fixed-price quote, no surprises, and reports that our insurers actually accept without chasing.”
★★★★★“CCTV and door entry upgrade for a warehouse near Warrington. Clear scope, tidy install and the team talked us through the app access for remote viewing. Would use again for the next site.”
