Water Hygiene Services for UK Businesses: Prevent Risk, Protect People


Water Hygiene Services for UK Businesses
Prevent Risk, Protect People

Legionnaires’ disease remains a real risk for UK businesses managing water systems. In 2023, 604 cases were confirmed —many linked to poorly maintained systems.

Key takeaway: Regular water hygiene services are essential—not just to meet legal obligations, but to protect your people, operations, and bottom line.

Why Water Hygiene Matters for Your Business

Even in the most modern buildings, hidden water-borne risks can pose serious threats. If left unmanaged, your water system could lead to:

  • Stagnant water that encourages bacterial growth
  • Scale and sediment buildup that disrupts flow
  • Unbalanced temperatures ideal for bacteria
  • Faulty plumbing like dead legs or corroded valves

Stay ahead of issues with proactive hygiene services that ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind.

Beyond Legionella—Other Risks to Your Business

While Legionella is often the focus, businesses in the UK face several other water hygiene challenges. If left unchecked, these issues can lead to operational disruptions, compliance failures, and even health hazards.

  • Over time, corrosion and mineral deposits can clog pipes and disrupt water flow, creating conditions for bacteria to thrive.
  • In large buildings, water sitting in unused pipes can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. This is especially common in facilities with infrequent water usage, like vacant office spaces or seasonal businesses.
  • Plumbing faults such as leaks or dead legs often go unnoticed but can cause contamination and water flow problems over time.
Unchecked, these issues can lead to health hazards, system failures, and business disruption.
