Wondering what a Legionella risk assessment will cost? Every building and water system is different, so there is no one-size price. We assess how much work your premises needs and give you a clear written quote before any work begins. Call 086 275 9728 for a free, no-obligation quote.
Why every quote is different
A small office with one hot water cylinder and a care home with tanks, calorifiers and dozens of outlets need very different amounts of work. We find out what your site requires and price the job to match, so you only pay for what is needed. Services such as legionella testing and sampling, shower head disinfection and water tank cleaning are quoted separately.
What affects the cost
- The number and type of water systems: cold water tanks, hot water cylinders and calorifiers, showers, taps and other outlets
- The size and layout of the building
- How the building is used, and whether vulnerable people such as residents or patients are present
- The condition of existing records, such as previous assessments and log books
What a proper Legionella risk assessment includes
A good assessment reviews your hot and cold water systems, identifies where Legionella could grow, assesses who could be exposed and gives you a written report with clear control measures and actions. The main Irish references are the HPSC National Guidelines for the Control of Legionellosis in Ireland and the HSA guidance on Legionnaires’ disease, and employers also have duties under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. See our Legionella risk assessment service.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Legionella risk assessment cost in Ireland?
There is no single price, because every site has different water systems and a different amount of work. We assess what your premises needs and give you a clear written quote before any work starts. Quotes are free and without obligation.
Is the cost different in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway?
The cost is driven by your premises and water systems, not the city. We confirm everything, including location, in a written quote.
What is the difference between a risk assessment and legionella testing?
A risk assessment reviews your whole water system and identifies the conditions that let bacteria grow. Testing takes water samples for laboratory analysis to check whether Legionella is present. They work best together.
What affects the cost of a Legionella risk assessment?
The number and type of water systems, such as tanks, calorifiers, showers and outlets, the size of the building, how the water is used and how complete your existing records are.
How often should a Legionella risk assessment be reviewed?
Review it when there are changes to the water system or building use, and at regular intervals agreed against your risk assessment. We can advise on a sensible schedule.
Can I combine Legionella and fire risk assessments?
