Legionella Experts Serving Cornwall
Across Cornwall, employers, landlords and organisations come to Primary Water Solutions for our professional Legionella control services that make a real difference to the health and safety of those who use your facilities. We’re water safety consultants with over 60 years of combined experience working across NHS sites, care homes, schools, hotels, rental properties, local councils, and commercial businesses throughout the region.
From Truro and Falmouth to Newquay, St Austell, and coastal resorts across the county, we work with organisations of all sizes to protect staff, customers, and visitors from the risks posed by Legionella bacteria.
Cornwall’s mix of heritage buildings, busy coastal hotels, and tourism means that water systems can be especially vulnerable to stagnation, scale, and bacterial growth. As one of the leading water hygiene companies in the South West, we are there to help with the task of Legionella risk assessments, water hygiene monitoring, closed water systems monitoring, remedial works, and accredited training to keep you above regulatory conditions.
As water hygiene consultants, we can help safeguard your site with the professional assistance of our Legionella consultants to remain compliant with HSE’s ACoP L8 guidance in line with UK health and safety law.

Legionella Risk Assessments
From education to hospitality and care, no matter what industry you operate in, a Legionella risk assessment is a legal requirement under the Health and Safety at Work Act, COSHH, and the HSE’s Approved Code of Practice L8 (ACoP L8). If it’s found that your control measures do not meet the standard set, then not only can this cause harm on others through Legionnaires’ disease, but also regulatory consequences, including prosecution.
Your dedicated Primary Water Solutions Legionella consultants conduct comprehensive risk assessments across Cornwall to eliminate this from happening. We can identify hazards in your water systems, evaluate management procedures, and provide practical recommendations to reduce risk in line with HSG274 guidance. This includes testing storage tanks, pipework, and outlets for scale or stagnation, temperature regimes and flushing routines, as well as occupancy patterns that may impact system safety, especially in seasonal hospitality venues.
We also provide independent microbiological sampling through UKAS-accredited laboratories, giving you the administered results to support your compliance records. Our risk assessments are designed to minimise disruption, ensuring your daily operations continue smoothly in conjunction with our support that keeps up to date with legislation.
System Maintenance and Solutions
If you’re looking for Legionella control in Cornwall, speak to Primary Water Solutions. Our fully-qualified team makes use of advanced analysis and treatment strategies to detect the presence of Legionella and eradicate it, including full-scale tank cleaning.
We understand the unique business landscape in Cornwall, and we can adapt our strategies to suit your business. For example, older buildings may have outdated systems in which Legionella can develop, requiring remedial works, while seasonal tourism demands can affect accessibility and operating hours. While the water in Cornwall is predominantly soft, the above factors can increase the risk of Legionella development. No matter your situation, Primary Water Solutions will work around your needs.
The expert Primary Water Solutions team are keenly aware of the unique challenges faced by businesses in Cornwall. A dynamic tourism industry combined with aging buildings and infrastructure can make water hygiene processes difficult, which is why it’s so important to work with reputable water safety consultants in Cornwall. Primary Water Solutions are here to help you, whether you require guidance and advice regarding water treatment or a full-scale risk assessment.
Qualified and Experienced Specialists
Primary Water Solutions has earned a strong reputation as one of the most reliable water hygiene companies operating in Cornwall and the wider South West. All of our risk assessors are City & Guilds qualified, members of the Water Management Society, and operate under the professional code of conduct set by the Legionella Control Association. We are also Safe Contractor accredited, giving you confidence in our health and safety standards.
When working with our qualified water hygiene consultants, you’ll be safe in the knowledge that we understand Cornwall’s unique environment. As many older properties have outdated plumbing systems, this can create conditions where Legionella bacteria can thrive. It’s also known that seasonal businesses often experience fluctuating occupancy, which can increase the risk of stagnation in pipework. Our Legionella control services account for these local challenges, ensuring your systems remain safe all year round.
By working with Primary Water Solutions, you are partnering with a dedicated team of Legionella consultants who prioritise safety, compliance, and customer care. We also offer closed water systems monitoring for more complex or industrial sites, providing reliable control against scale, corrosion, and biofilm build-up for a variety of sites across Cornwall.
