About Edge Water Hygiene
Independent Legionella & Water Hygiene Consultancy
Edge Water Hygiene is an independent Legionella and water hygiene consultancy providing proportionate, audit-ready risk assessments and compliance support to SMEs, landlords and managing agents.
With over 20 years of industry experience, assessments are delivered in line with current UK guidance, including ACOP L8, HSG274 and BS 8580. The focus is on clear, site-specific advice that reflects real operating conditions rather than generic template observations.
Assessments prioritise practical risk identification, proportionate control measures and structured documentation — helping duty holders understand their legal responsibilities and maintain compliance without unnecessary complexity.
Practical, Proportionate Approach
Every site is different. Support is tailored to the size, complexity and risk profile of each system, ensuring recommendations remain evidence-based and aligned with actual risk.
In addition to Legionella risk assessments, Edge Water Hygiene provides structured compliance support, Written Schemes of Control and digital documentation tools designed to help duty holders manage their responsibilities with confidence.
Where higher-risk systems are identified, specialist input and proportionate controls are clearly defined within reports to support informed decision-making and defensible compliance.
Independence & Professional Integrity
Many providers combine risk assessment services with remedial works or ongoing treatment contracts. While this model may suit some organisations, it can reduce independence in recommendations.
Edge Water Hygiene operates solely as an independent consultancy. Advice and assessments are provided without remedial sales targets or chemical treatment contracts, ensuring recommendations remain impartial, proportionate and aligned with regulatory expectations.
Professional Standards
Services are fully insured with Public Liability and Professional Indemnity cover.

Support is provided across London, Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, West Sussex and surrounding areas.
All work is carried out with a focus on clarity, accuracy and regulatory alignment — supporting duty holders in maintaining safe water systems and meeting their compliance obligations with confidence.
