Protecting Your People, Premises and Brand Reputation
As part of a planned maintenance contract, JCW provides water hygiene services and legionella risk management for retail and commercial clients across the UK. From routine monitoring and testing to remedial maintenance and compliance support, we help businesses ensure their water systems are safe, hygienic, and fully compliant with UK health and safety legislation.
Our experienced engineers work closely with duty holders, facilities managers and compliance teams to deliver tailored water hygiene programmes that minimise risk, protect public health, and meet all legal obligations under the Approved Code of Practice (ACoP L8) and Health & Safety at Work Act.
Why Legionella Risk Management Matters

Delivering proactive maintenance and remedial works
Providing clear documentation and compliance records
Supporting with risk assessments and ACoP L8 compliance
