What changes the price
The band above is a guide. What a firm actually quotes for legionella risk assessment turns on a handful of things about the building:
- number of water systems and outlets
- presence of a cooling tower or spa pool
- stored or instantaneous hot water
- occupancy and vulnerability of the users
- history of little-used outlets
How the enquiry works
- You send the details of the building on this page.
- We pass them to a fire safety firm working in that area.
- That firm contacts you directly and quotes its own price.
- You deal with them from there. We take no part in the work.
