If you are a commerical or residential property landlord in Scotland you are obligated by law to undertake a Legionella Risk Assessment (LRA). You can employ a company to conduct a LRA for you or you can do one yourself. Most properties will be low risk but you also have a duty of care towards your tenants to ensure the risks of Legionella bacteria (the cause of Legionnaires Disease) are mitigated as much as possible. Regular testing using one of our Legionella Testing Kits will assist in ensuring landlords are doing what they can to mitigate the risks posed by Legionella bacteria to their tenants and anyone entering the property(ies) e.g. staff, customers and anyone else entering the property.

 

Most letting agents in Scotland will require sight of a recent Legionella Test Certificate prior to allowing the tenant(s) entering the property as this will prove that at the time of testing Legionella bacteria was not detected. All of our testing is undertaken in a UKAS accredited laboratory which is the only accepted way of testing waters for Legionella bacteria. Our Legionella Testing Kits are both easy to use and cost effective. You can get an online quote and order one here.
