Legionnaires’ disease is a potentially fatal form of pneumonia which is contracted by inhaling
\nsmall droplets of water containing the Legionella bacteria. Legionnaires’ disease mainly affects people in ‘high risk’ groups including those over the age of
\n45, new born babies, smokers, heavy drinkers, those with heart disease and anyone who has a
\nweakened immune system.<\/p>\n
The control of Legionella in rented property is a legal requirement, and duties of care are
\nplaced on Landlords as ‘self-employed persons’. House of Commons Briefing Paper 07307
\n(October 2015) states:
\n‘Landlords of residential accommodation have a responsibility to take measures to ensure that
\ntheir properties are free from health and safety hazards, this includes taking measures to
\ncombat Legionnaires’ Disease.’<\/p>\n
TCS Property Services carries out Legionella Risk Assessments for residential properties.
\nThis will involve To examine hot and cold water system. Measure hot and cold water temperatures at
\nsentinel outlets. Examine pipework for dead legs. Note any limescale at sentinel outlets.
\nLook at Water heater.
\nWe will take photographs as evidence and produce the risk assessment report within a few days.
\nMost residential properties will be low risk and will not require another assessment unless the hot and cold water system is updated in any way.
\nWe provide a Tenant information leaflet so that the tenant is aware of the risk of legionella and gives simple practical advice on how to avoid it.<\/p>\n
