Legionella Remedial Works

Remedial Works Following a Legionella Risk Assessment

A Legionella risk assessment is the first step in ensuring your water systems are safe and compliant with HSE ACOP L8 and HSG274 guidance. However, many assessments highlight issues that require action to reduce risks. These corrective measures are known as remedial works. At Bespoke Compliance Solutions, we provide a full remedial works service to address risks identified during your assessment and bring your water systems up to compliance.

What Are Remedial Works?

Remedial works are the improvements, repairs, or upgrades needed to control the risk of Legionella bacteria in your water systems. They are tailored to the specific findings of your Legionella risk assessment and may range from minor adjustments to significant system modifications.

Examples of remedial works include:

​

• Removing dead legs or redundant pipework where water stagnates

• Replacing or repairing damaged cold water tanks

• Installing or servicing thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs)

• Improving system insulation to keep water within safe temperatures

• Adjusting pipework layouts to improve flow and reduce stagnation

• Carrying out system disinfection after works are completed

​

The Process of Carrying Out Remedial Works

1. Review of the Risk Assessment Report - Our team begins by reviewing your Legionella risk assessment in detail, identifying each recommendation and prioritising high-risk issues.
 

2. Site Survey & Planning - We carry out a site survey to confirm requirements, assess practical considerations, and plan the most efficient approach with minimal disruption to your premises.
 

3. Implementation of Remedial Works - Our qualified engineers perform the necessary remedial works, from small fixes like removing dead legs to larger projects such as replacing water storage tanks. All work is completed in line with industry best practice and current health and safety standards.

4. Cleaning and Disinfection - Following any major works, we carry out a full water system cleaning and disinfection to eliminate any bacteria that may have been disturbed during the process.

5. Certification & Documentation - Once completed, you receive a full compliance report and certification, demonstrating that remedial works have been carried out and your water systems meet legal requirements.
