Franks Portlock provides comprehensive Remedial Works that aim to reduce the risk from Legionella and other waterborne bacteria.

Water hygiene remediation

Registered Legionella Control

Franks Portlock is registered with the Legionella Control Association and is audited annually on the service standards that we are registered to deliver, so you can trust us to provide you with the expertise you need to manage your risk in the most cost-effective way.

Once the risk assessment has been carried out, and the risks have been identified, they must be removed or at the very least, reduced to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). Each action raised within the risk assessment must be signed off to complete the risk assessment itself. This would be classed as carrying out Legionella remedial works.
