Professional Legionella Control Services | Protect your people and property with professional Legionella control from Green Water Services.
As an employer, landlord, or building manager, you are legally responsible for assessing and managing the risk of Legionella in your water systems. Green Water Services provides expert Legionella control services throughout the UK, helping you stay compliant and safeguard your health by ACoP L8 and HSG274 guidelines.
What is Legionella, and Why is Control Important?
Legionella is a bacterium that can grow in water systems, causing Legionnaires’ disease, a potentially fatal form of pneumonia. It thrives in stagnant or poorly maintained water at temperatures between 20 °C and 45°C.
Outbreaks can occur in any setting where water is stored or circulated – from offices and factories to care homes, gyms, and schools. That’s why regular risk assessments, water testing, and control measures are vital.

Carried out by trained professionals by ACoP L8. We identify potential risks within your water systems and provide clear, practical guidance to help you manage them effectively.
✅ Water Temperature Monitoring
Routine checks to ensure hot and cold water systems are operating within safe temperature ranges to inhibit bacterial growth.
