What do we cover in School facilities?
We specialise in the monitoring and control of legionella bacteria in all types of buildings, including schools.
While School buildings tend to offer safe conditions, they can carry a number of unseen hazards when we consider legionella.
The legal requirement for all public buildings is to have a valid legionella risk assessment completed by a competent person. Once you have this, you must then demonstrate and document how the risk is being controlled.
At AquaTest Wales, we can complete the full journey to meeting compliance, from the risk assessment, to creating the written scheme of control (including logbooks). Once these are completed, we can offer great prices for monthly service agreements which can include the following:
• Monthly Temperature testing and monitoring
• Quarterly descaling & disinfection of taps and showers
• Annual TMV servicing
• Annual tank cleaning
• Calorifier and expansion vessel flushing and/or cleaning
• Ongoing and Periodic reviews of the dossier, including updates
• Free risk assessment updates
• Free Written Scheme updates
• Bacterial swabs and dipslide testing
• Water quality testing
• UKAS accredited Legionella testing
The goal is to relieve you of the stresses and burdens of managing legionella, so you can get on with the job of education. We'll then send you monthly updates, annual reports, and keep all the statutory documents up to date, on your behalf.
