Legionella testing for schools and educational facilities

Protect your kids and staff and stay compliant
with water safety regulations

It is extremely important for schools and educational facilities to be vigilant about water safety. Young people are at a higher risk of developing Legionnaire’s disease if exposed to dangerous levels of Legionella bacteria, which can be deadly.

Parents entrust the safety of their children to their schools, and this is a duty of care that must be taken very seriously. Any outbreak of Legionella has severe implications for the health and safety of your kids and staff, and the reputation of your school.

Why get regular Legionella testing for schools?

Legionella poses a health risk to people wherever there’s a water system, particularly where water spray is present. Washing facilities, cleaning facilities, drinking water, pools, and showers are some of the places where Legionella can be found.

Avoid accidents and regulate safe water temperatures

Alongside minimising the risk of Legionella and helping you comply with water regulations, we install and maintain Thermostatic Mixer Valves (TMVs). TMVs regulate water temperature and stop hot water flowing at dangerously hot temperatures.

We have all the required professional accreditations in place to install TMVs, as well as various construction and environmental related accreditations.
