Legionella Risk Assessments — Bournemouth, Poole & Dorset
Are you a landlord or business owner in Bournemouth, Poole, or the wider Dorset area? Dorset Plumbing Ltd provides tailor-made Legionella risk assessments designed specifically for your property’s water system — not a generic template report. Our fully qualified assessors produce a bespoke written report, issued the same day as the visit.
From £59.99 + VAT · ACoP L8 & HSG274 Compliant · Same-Day Report · 01202 668822
Why Our Local Service Is Different
By focusing on your actual water system rather than working from a generic checklist, we keep prices competitive and reports accurate. In other words, every assessment reflects what is actually installed at your property — not what a standard template assumes.
Each report is built around your property’s specific layout and water system. As a result, our prices stay competitive while the standard of accuracy remains higher than template-based providers.
On the same day as the site visit and payment, our assessor emails your full PDF report. Consequently, you have your compliance document in hand immediately — ready to pass to your letting agent or council without delay.
Every assessment fully meets HSE ACoP L8 and HSG274 guidelines, satisfying your legal duty as a landlord or employer under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
Our assessors bring specialist knowledge across both residential landlord properties and large-scale commercial sites — including HMOs, care homes, offices, and industrial units.
Our Water Safety Services
Beyond the standard risk assessment, we offer a full range of water safety services to keep your property compliant:
Professional inspections for flats, HMOs, offices, and industrial units across Bournemouth, Poole, Dorset, and Hampshire. Domestic properties start from £59.99 + VAT with same-day report delivery.
UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis for Legionella bacteria, suitable for commercial premises and higher-risk residential sites where water sampling forms part of the control programme.
Professionally drafted water system maps, available on request. These drawings are particularly useful for commercial and complex domestic properties where a visual schematic supports the risk assessment documentation.
Clear, practical guidance on disinfection, temperature control, and remedial works. Furthermore, because our engineers hold plumbing qualifications, they can carry out any works identified during the assessment directly.
The Process — 3 Simple Steps
1. Site Survey — our local assessor visits your property and inspects all tanks, cylinders, pipework, and outlets. During the visit, temperature readings are taken at every outlet and all findings are documented on the spot.
2. Custom Analysis — following the survey, we map your system and identify the specific risks present at your property. Unlike template providers, every report reflects what our assessor actually found — no copy-paste content.
3. Instant Compliance — once the visit and payment are complete, your tailored PDF report is emailed to you straight away. You achieve compliance on the same day, with no waiting for a document to arrive by post.
