Water Hygiene Testing
At Drayton Tanks & Accessories, we offer water hygiene monitoring to help businesses and property managers maintain clean, well-managed water systems and reduce the risk of Legionella.
Our services can include hot and cold water temperature checks, water storage tank inspections, flushing of little-used outlets, and checks for sediment, scale and signs of contamination. Where appropriate, water sampling and laboratory testing can also be arranged.
Monitoring programmes are tailored to your premises, water system and risk assessment. We provide clear records of checks, highlight concerns and recommend corrective action, helping you manage maintenance and water hygiene responsibilities with confidence.

Water Hygiene Monitoring: What It Involves and Why It Matters
Water hygiene monitoring helps keep a building’s water systems clean, well maintained and effectively controlled. Regular checks help identify conditions that could encourage harmful bacteria, including Legionella, and highlight problems before they become more serious.
What does water hygiene monitoring involve?
A monitoring programme should reflect the building’s water systems and the findings of its risk assessment. Typical activities include:
- Temperature checks: Monitoring hot and cold water to check that temperature controls are working effectively.
- Flushing little-used outlets: Keeping water moving through taps and showers to reduce stagnation.
- System inspections: Checking water storage tanks and other components for contamination, sediment, corrosion or maintenance issues.
- Cleaning and descaling: Maintaining showerheads, hoses and outlets to help reduce conditions that encourage bacterial growth.
- Water sampling where appropriate: Arranging laboratory testing when the risk assessment or monitoring results indicate it is needed.
- Record keeping and follow-up: Documenting checks, identifying concerns and taking corrective action.
Why does it matter?
Effective monitoring helps protect people who use the building and gives property owners and managers a clearer picture of how their water systems are performing. It can reveal failing controls, support timely maintenance and provide evidence that water hygiene risks are being actively managed.
A successful programme combines regular checks with prompt action. Monitoring should form part of an ongoing approach to water hygiene, supported by a suitable risk assessment and competent advice.
