Our Legionella consultancy involves regular auditing by field experts, providing estates with remedial actions and advice on maintaining water and air quality. As well as significantly reducing the chance of an outbreak of Legionella, we also help to ensure the most effective remedial actions are taken to limit the consequences of an infection.

The results from the survey enable us to produce a detailed set of guidance including remedial actions and costs.
