The legionella record-keeping problem costing UK building managers
HSE enforcement is increasing — non-compliance risks fines of up to £20,000 per property
Paper logbooks get lost
Clipboards go missing between properties. Temperature logs smudge. Flushing records end up in the wrong drawer when the inspector arrives.
Flushing deadlines slip
Guest rooms, seasonal outlets, vacant flats — every unused tap needs regular flushing. Without reminders, outlets go weeks without being run.
Contractor costs stack up
Outsourcing compliance to a water treatment company costs £150-400 per property per year. For a 10-property portfolio, that is £1,500-4,000 annually.
Enforcement is increasing
Post-lockdown legionella sample positivity is up 20% from stagnant water in closed buildings — and HSE is increasing inspections to match. Non-compliance can lead to improvement notices, prohibition notices, or criminal prosecution.

Legionella compliance questions answered
What records do landlords need to keep for legionella compliance?
Under ACoP L8 and HSG274, landlords must maintain a current written legionella risk assessment, weekly or monthly hot and cold water temperature logs, flushing records for infrequently used outlets, quarterly showerhead cleaning records, and a documented written scheme of control. These records must be available for inspection by local authority environmental health officers or the HSE.
How often should a legionella risk assessment be reviewed?
HSE guidance recommends reviewing your legionella risk assessment at least every two years, or sooner if there are changes to the water system, building use, or occupancy. Significant events like refurbishment, extended building closure, or a legionella-positive sample also trigger an immediate review.
Can I do my own legionella risk assessment as a landlord?
HSE confirms that landlords can carry out their own legionella risk assessment if they are competent to do so. For simple domestic hot and cold water systems in residential properties, a landlord with the right knowledge can self-assess. More complex systems (cooling towers, large buildings) typically require a specialist.
What temperature should hot water be at outlets for legionella compliance?
Hot water should reach at least 50°C within one minute of running at outlets. Cold water should be below 20°C. Legionella bacteria thrive between 20°C and 45°C, so maintaining temperatures outside this range is a key control measure under HSG274.
How long should you run taps for legionella flushing?
Outlets that are not used regularly (at least once a week) should be flushed by running both hot and cold water for at least two minutes. This applies to guest rooms, seasonal facilities, unoccupied flats, and any tap or shower that sees infrequent use.
What is ACoP L8 and who does it apply to?
ACoP L8 is the HSE Approved Code of Practice for legionella control. It applies to all duty holders — anyone responsible for a building's water system. This includes landlords, employers, care home operators, school facilities managers, and building owners. Non-compliance can result in enforcement action including improvement notices and criminal prosecution.
