What Is a Legionella Report and Why Is It Important?
A Legionella report, often referred to as a Legionella risk assessment, is a documented inspection of a property’s water system to assess the risk of Legionella bacteria growth.
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and guidance from the Health and Safety Executive, duty holders must assess and control the risk of exposure to Legionella bacteria in water systems.
Legionella can multiply in stagnant or poorly maintained water systems. Properties at risk include:
- Rental properties
- Office buildings
- Retail units
- Industrial premises
- Schools and healthcare settings
- Blocks of flats with communal water systems
A professionally prepared Legionella report provides evidence that risks have been assessed and appropriate control measures have been considered.

- Landlords - Landlords have a legal responsibility to assess the risk of Legionella exposure in their rental properties. While not every property requires extensive testing, a documented risk assessment is required.
- Commercial Property Owners - Businesses must manage water system risks in accordance with health and safety regulations. A Legionella report supports compliance and protects staff and visitors.
- Managing Agents - Managing agents overseeing residential blocks or commercial portfolios benefit from structured reporting to demonstrate due diligence.
