Clean, safe water is a fundamental necessity and a legal requirement. Whether managing a commercial property, industrial site, or healthcare facility, maintaining water hygiene is essential for public health, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
At Virtual Services Group, we provide specialist water treatment solutions to mitigate waterborne risks, enhance system performance, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Our expert-led services, from Legionella risk assessments to tank disinfection and temperature monitoring, help businesses maintain safe, efficient, and legally compliant water systems.
Proactive water treatment services
We take a proactive approach to water hygiene, preventing contamination and ensuring regulatory adherence. Our tailored solutions support businesses across diverse sectors, helping them manage risks effectively.
Legionella risk assessments
Legionella bacteria pose serious health risks, including Legionnaires’ disease. Our comprehensive risk assessments ensure compliance with HSE’s Approved Code of Practice (ACoP L8), helping businesses identify hazards, implement control measures, and mitigate risks in cooling towers, water tanks, and plumbing systems.
Health & safety compliance consultancy
Navigating complex water hygiene regulations can be challenging. Our experts provide guidance on compliance with HSE legislation, Legionella Control Association (LCA) standards, and industry best practices. We develop effective water hygiene protocols to help businesses stay ahead of evolving regulations.
Temperature monitoring
Bacterial growth thrives in temperature fluctuations within water systems. We conduct regular temperature monitoring to detect early warning signs and prevent Legionella proliferation. Our custom contracts ensure water remains within safe temperature ranges to mitigate health risks.
Water sampling & analysis
While routine water testing is not always mandatory, certain businesses require detailed water analysis for regulatory compliance and safety assurance. We offer specialist consultancy services and accredited water sampling to detect contaminants and ensure potable water quality.
Showerhead cleaning & descaling
Under ACoP L8 regulations, showerheads must be cleaned and descaled at least four times a year to prevent bacterial growth. Our services eliminate biofilm buildup, reducing the risk of Legionella contamination and ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
Water tank cleaning & disinfection
Over time, grit, scale, and sludge accumulate in water storage tanks, creating an ideal environment for bacteria. Our professional tank cleaning and disinfection services eliminate contaminants, ensuring safe, compliant, and high-quality water for your facility.
