020 4532 7773Clean, safe water is more than just a necessity—it’s a legal obligation, especially for commercial properties. Whether you manage an office building, healthcare facility, school, or hotel, the importance of water hygiene cannot be overstated. Poorly maintained water systems can lead to severe health risks, particularly the growth of Legionella bacteria, which can cause the potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease.
That’s where London Water Treatment comes in. Based in Brentford and serving clients across London, we deliver comprehensive, fully compliant commercial water hygiene services tailored to your needs. With strict adherence to L8 ACOP and BS8558 standards, we help businesses like yours stay safe, legal, and operational—without compromise.
Water hygiene in commercial environments isn’t just about clean water—it’s about safeguarding lives, protecting your brand, and complying with legal regulations. Contaminated water systems can spread harmful bacteria, corrode infrastructure, and disrupt operations.
If your water systems aren’t professionally maintained and tested, your property may be at risk.
London is home to a diverse mix of commercial properties—all of which are required to ensure water safety and legal compliance.
If your building has a water tank, boiler, cooling tower, or even a simple hot and cold-water system—you’re legally required to manage the risk of Legionella and maintain water hygiene.
Legionella is a bacteria found in freshwater environments but can grow in man-made water systems like hot water tanks, pipes, and cooling towers. If inhaled as a fine mist, it can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a severe and potentially deadly type of pneumonia.
Issued by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE), L8 Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) outlines how to prevent and control Legionella in water systems. Compliance is mandatory under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
Key duties under L8 ACOP:
London Water Treatment ensures full compliance with L8 ACOP for every commercial client in Brentford.
Where L8 ACOP focuses on Legionella, BS8558 is the UK’s national standard for water supply system design, commissioning, and testing in buildings.
At London Water Treatment, every new chlorination, commissioning, or testing service strictly follows BS8558 to guarantee performance and safety.

Q1: What’s involved in a Legionella Risk Assessment?
Ans: We inspect your water systems, identify risks, provide control measures, and document everything as per L8 ACOP. You’ll receive a complete report with photographs and remedial recommendations.
Q2: How often should commercial water systems be checked?
Ans: It depends on your risk assessment, but most systems require monthly temperature monitoring, quarterly inspections, and annual reviews.
Q3: Is chlorination mandatory for new water systems?
Ans: Yes. BS8558 mandates flushing, disinfection, and testing before any new system becomes operational to ensure water is safe for use.
Q4: Can you manage multiple sites for one company?
Ans: Absolutely. We offer centralized compliance management for multi-site operations with one dashboard, one report format, and one point of contact.
Q5: Do I need to test water in vacant properties?
Ans: Yes. In fact, unoccupied buildings are high-risk environments for Legionella due to stagnant water. Regular flushing and testing are essential.
