SAMPLING / WATER HYGIENE & TANKS
Legionella sampling
Targeted sampling with a clear purpose. Share the relevant water hygiene information and sampling requirement so the locations, access and scope can be agreed.
Know what the sampling is intended to answer.
AP Environmental provides Legionella sampling. Your enquiry may follow an existing risk assessment, a monitoring finding or a request for follow-up samples. Tell us why sampling is needed and identify the systems involved. The scope should make clear the sample locations, analysis arrangements and how results will be provided.
What we can help with
- Legionella sampling enquiries for hot and cold water services
- Sampling locations scoped to the stated requirement
- Access planning around occupants and site operations
- Agreement on analysis, results and any follow-up requirements
When to get in touch
When sampling is identified in your existing water hygiene arrangements or requested in response to a particular concern. If you have a previous result, include the report and the reason for the new sampling request.
Agreeing the scope
Agree which samples are required, how analysis will be arranged and who receives the results. A sample result relates to the water sampled; it does not replace a risk assessment or an ongoing control programme.
Helpful information to have ready
- The existing sampling recommendation or water hygiene report
- Previous results and sample locations if available
- The building use and systems involved
- Access arrangements and relevant site contacts
You can enquire before you have every detail. Start with the information available and we can discuss what else is needed.
Your questions, answered.
Is Legionella sampling a risk assessment?+
No. Sampling and a risk assessment do different jobs. This service is for sampling; share any existing assessment or sampling recommendation when enquiring.
Can I request follow-up samples?+
Yes. Send the previous report, sample locations and any work carried out since the earlier samples so the follow-up requirement is clear.
Do all buildings need the same sampling schedule?+
No. Sampling should be considered in the context of the system and its water hygiene arrangements. Share your existing requirements rather than assuming a standard package applies.
