Designed for straightforward domestic water systems
Most UK rentals follow the same route: a gas combi boiler heating water on demand, with no stored hot-water cylinder, cold-water storage tank, spa or communal plant. That is the kind of system LegionellaWise is built around.
The free suitability check flags complex, communal or higher-risk systems — stored hot water, large or shared buildings, vulnerable occupants — so you know when to take specialist advice instead.
LegionellaWise supports competent self-assessment for straightforward domestic systems. It is not a laboratory test or a substitute for specialist advice on complex, communal or higher-risk systems.

Questions landlords ask
- Am I legally required to do a Legionella risk assessment?
- If you let residential property you have a duty to assess and control the risk from Legionella bacteria in the water system. In Great Britain that duty sits under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations, with practical detail in the HSE's Approved Code of Practice L8 and guidance HSG274.
- Is the landlord or the letting agent responsible?
- The duty follows control of the premises. A landlord who manages their own lettings holds it directly. Where a managing agent takes on responsibility for maintenance and compliance, the written management agreement should say clearly who carries out and records the assessment.
- Do I need a certificate, and is there such a thing as a Legionella certificate?
- There is no statutory Legionella certificate for a residential letting. What is expected is a risk assessment record: what was assessed, what was found, what controls are in place and when it will be reviewed.
- Do I need to pay a professional to do it?
- For a simple domestic property, a landlord who understands the system and is competent to make the judgements can carry out the assessment themselves. Complex or higher-risk situations — communal or shared systems, stored hot water in larger buildings, cooling systems, spa pools, vulnerable occupants or anything you are unsure about — should go to a specialist.
