Legionella compliance audits in Birmingham
Legionella compliance audits across Birmingham.
What legionella compliance audits involves
An audit looks at the legionella controls a Birmingham building already has in place and asks whether they would hold up if someone asked to see them. That means the logbook, the temperature records, the schematic, the flushing routine and whatever paperwork the last contractor left behind. It suits duty holders, facilities managers, managing agents and landlords with a portfolio who want the gaps identified before a tenant, insurer or enforcing officer finds them first.
Where a risk assessment sets out what should be done, an audit checks whether it actually is being done. Choose a date, pay the set price, and a specialist will work through the records and the plant on site, then leave written findings that rank the gaps in order of importance.

How legionella compliance audits works with us
Book the audit
Give the address, the type of premises and what records exist, and pay the set price for the agreed scope.
Desk review
The specialist reads the assessment, logbook, schematic and contractor paperwork before arriving, so the time on site can be aimed at the weak points.
Controls sampled
Sentinel outlets are checked, temperatures are taken where relevant, and the flushing and cleaning routines are compared with what the records claim happens.
Findings pack
A written audit sets out what was found, which gaps matter most and what needs to change, in an order you can work through.

What an audit turns up
Paper trails and pipework together
A tidy folder means little if the sentinel tap temperatures inside it are three years old. The specialist reads the records against what is actually on site, so the findings describe the building rather than the filing cabinet.
Gaps ranked, not just listed
Findings are grouped by how quickly each one needs attention, from records that can be corrected this week to plant or pipework that needs a change of approach.
Single sites and portfolios
One office, a chain of salons or a block of flats with a communal system can all be audited. Give the number of sites and their approximate size when booking so the time on site matches the job.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a legionella compliance audit be carried out?
No single timetable fits every building. Some duty holders arrange one each year, others audit after a change of contractor, a refit or a run of poor temperature results. The specialist can say what suits your premises once the controls have been seen.
Does the audit include sampling water for legionella bacteria?
Routine laboratory testing is not part of every audit and should not be assumed. The specialist will say whether sampling would add anything for your system, and any testing would be arranged as a separate agreed scope.
What should be ready before the specialist arrives?
The current risk assessment, the logbook, temperature and flushing records, the schematic and any contractor reports. If some of those do not exist, that is a finding in itself and worth knowing.
Can one booking cover more than one building?
For a small portfolio, yes, where the sites sit close together and the scope is agreed in advance. Give the addresses and rough sizes when booking so the visit reflects the number of properties.
