Helping you stay compliant with the ACoP L8
To comply with ACoP L8 and meet the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines on Legionella control, the essential first step is to carry out a Legionella risk assessment. At Dantek Environmental Services, we specialise in providing thorough, HSE-compliant risk assessments to help ensure your water systems are safe and legally compliant.
At Dantek Environmental Services, we make Legionella risk assessments straightforward and stress-free. Our experienced specialists conduct a thorough inspection of your property, clearly identifying any risks within your water systems and explaining them in plain language. We’ll then guide you through the steps needed to minimise the risk of Legionella bacteria, and where appropriate, recommend ongoing solutions like Legionella monitoring or regular water sampling and testing for added protection.
Following the ACoP L8 guidance is critical for workplace compliance. While it isn’t legally binding on its own, non-compliance may breach the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and COSHH regulations, exposing your business to risk.
We regularly support clients across the education, healthcare, housing, and commercial sectors. Whether you manage a single site or multiple locations, our team can tailor your assessment – and if needed, provide complementary services such as water tank cleaning or TMV servicing to keep your systems compliant and safe.

If you ask us to work with you, we’ll carry out a comprehensive check of your property and provide you with full documentation. But we’ll also talk you through everything we find, so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.
This is what your risk assessment includes:
The cost of your legionella risk assessment could be as little as £375 for a single site. That’s the price for a standard domestic hot and cold system with a cold water storage tank, calorifier, showers and outlets. And that includes the risk assessment, full report and a logbook for monthly monitoring. The cost can be reduced for multi-site customers and even further for systems with low risk systems such as point of use water heaters only.
The final price depends on the size of your property, how complex your systems, and whether you need us to inspect a single site or multiple locations. But we’ll always be happy to provide you with a tailored quotation before going ahead.
Any business, landlord, or property manager responsible for water systems must assess the risk of Legionella. This includes employers, those in control of premises, and anyone with health and safety responsibilities related to water systems.
A Legionella risk assessment should typically be reviewed at least every two years or whenever there is a significant change to the water system or its usage. Regular monitoring and maintenance are also essential between assessments.
While it’s possible for a competent person to carry out an assessment, it’s strongly recommended to use a qualified specialist. A professional ensures compliance with HSE guidelines and helps reduce liability.
Our specialists inspect your water system, assess risk areas, test water temperatures, check for stagnation points, and provide a detailed report with recommendations. A logbook and monitoring schedule may also be included.
Yes. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act and the HSE’s Approved Code of Practice (L8), landlords and employers have a legal duty to manage the risk of Legionella bacteria in water systems.
