Monthly Water Management & Monitoring Across the UK
A risk assessment and water management policy will tell you what needs to be done. Monthly water management and monitoring is where those plans are actually put into practice.
The Testing Lab PLC (TTL) provides practical, site-based monthly water management and Legionella monitoringfor hot and cold water systems and other risk systems across England, Scotland and Wales, helping dutyholders keep their written schemes of control on track.

Practical monthly water management and Legionella monitoring
Our monthly service is designed to support:
-
Dutyholders and responsible persons who need extra hands-on support
-
Sites with limited in-house resources or time
-
Organisations that want independent verification that their controls are being followed
-
Larger estates where consistency across multiple buildings is essential
We provide regular, scheduled visits to carry out checks, record results and flag issues before they become bigger problems.
Why monthly water monitoring matters
Legionella control is not a one-off exercise. Even the best risk assessment and policy will fail if routine checks and tasks are missed.
Monthly water management and monitoring helps you to:
-
Demonstrate that your written scheme of control is being implemented
-
Identify developing issues (e.g. temperature drift, low use, stagnation) early
-
Keep log books and digital records up to date and audit-ready
-
Provide assurance to regulators, insurers, boards and residents that water safety is being actively managed
For many sites, monthly visits strike a good balance between risk, practicality and cost, with more frequent checks layered in where required by risk assessment or guidance.
What our monthly water management service includes
Our service is tailored to your systems and risk profile, but typically includes:
-
Scheduled monthly visits from a trained water hygiene technician
-
Completion of agreed temperature checks, inspections and flushing
-
Recording of results in your log books or digital system
-
Clear communication of any non-conformances, defects or remedial needs
-
Escalation of urgent issues to the responsible person and, where needed, your maintenance or estates team
We can also combine monthly monitoring with quarterly, six-monthly or annual tasks, so you have a single coordinated programme.

Typical checks and tasks we carry out
The exact scope will be agreed for each site, but monthly water management often includes:
Where required by your risk assessment, we can also incorporate sampling regimes (for example, Legionella samples in specific system types) as part of a broader programme.
Working with your water management policy and log books
Our monthly service is built around your water management policy / written scheme of control and any site-specific procedures you already have in place.
We can:
-
Help develop or refine your log book structure, whether paper-based or digital
-
Ensure that checks and tasks in the policy are translated into clear monthly routines
-
Provide feedback where the policy or scheme needs updating (for example, due to system changes)
-
Work alongside your in-house teams, providing extra resource rather than replacing them
If you do not yet have a water management policy, we can create one for you and then link it directly to a practical monitoring programme.

Frequently asked questions about monthly water monitoring
Our Accredited Testing Services
Dear The Testing Lab PLC,
Many thanks for your prompt and professional asbestos survey report service, I would not hesitate to recommend your company in this regard.
This must be an absolute record for getting a report back, considering the surveyor arrived around 3pm – very well done!
Thank you for the very quick response for the quote and scheduling the survey. There’s never any fuss, and always straight forward. Thanks again.
Thank you for offering such a prompt turnaround for ACM testing and for your courteous service in doing so – I had a nervous client to placate and knowing the report would be back with them in such a short time was very reassuring to them, and for no more than a basic service from the competition!
Bradley, thank you for your efforts at short notice today, please pass on our gratitude to your surveyor Tim who did your company proud!
Thank you very much for the air sampling results – and please accept our grateful thanks for resolving this issue so quickly and for the promptness of the report.
Your analyst, Lee, was very helpful and his suggestions and advice appreciated.
We would have no hesitation in recommending The Testing Lab and will be in touch soon with regards arrangements for a full asbestos survey for the rest of the site.
TTL have been working directly as my analyst for the last 12 months on a very complex asbestos removal scheme, they have achieved all of their KPI’s without fail and on a number of occasions surpassed their SLA in acting for us on planning issues associated with the demolition in regard to contamination which cannot be removed as part of the normal sequence of operation.
There reports are always issued within timescales and they have policed the reports by the Licensed asbestos contractor faultlessly sometimes in very difficult circumstances.
