Legionella Control for Gyms, Hotels, Spas & Public Attractions
Leisure environments bring unique water safety challenges. From gyms and swimming pools to hotels, spas, holiday parks and entertainment venues, these facilities experience high footfall, varied water usage and increased exposure risk.
At L8 Protection, we provide tailored Legionella control services for leisure facilities across the UK. We understand that protecting guests, members, and staff is not only a legal obligation under ACOP L8 and UK water regulations, but it is fundamental to your reputation.
Whether you operate a boutique hotel, large leisure centre, health club, cinema complex or visitor attraction, we deliver compliant, practical water safety solutions that fit around your operational demands.
Legionella Risk Assessments Designed for High-Footfall Environments
Leisure facilities often contain multiple showers, spa pools, changing areas, guest bathrooms and complex hot water systems. These features can increase the need for a detailed and carefully managed Legionella risk assessment.
Our service includes:
- Thorough Legionella bacteria risk assessment of hot and cold water systems
- Site-specific water risk assessment based on occupancy and usage levels
- Independent legionella testing is required where required
- Scheduled and reactive legionella test services
In gyms and leisure centres, frequent shower use combined with periods of low demand can affect system balance. In hotels and holiday parks, room turnover and seasonal variation can create stagnation risks. In spas and wellness centres, warm water environments require particular vigilance.
We assess your facility’s layout, occupancy trends and system configuration to build a robust Legionella control strategy tailored to your setting.
You’ll receive a clear, structured report outlining risks, recommended actions and ongoing management requirements, helping you maintain compliance and peace of mind.
Reliable Water Temperature Testing to Protect Guests & Members
Temperature management is central to controlling Legionella growth, particularly in environments with extensive shower blocks and guest accommodation.
Our services include:
- Routine water temperature testing across outlets and plant areas
- Compliance-focused legionella testing of water temperatures
- Accurate hot and cold water temperature test checks
- Digital logging for inspection and audit purposes
We work discreetly and efficiently, minimising disruption to your guests while ensuring your monitoring records remain fully compliant.
Water Surveys & System Inspections Across Leisure Sites
Leisure facilities often operate multiple storage tanks, calorifiers and booster systems. Regular inspections are essential to prevent contamination and maintain hygiene standards.
Our on-site services include:
- Detailed water survey assessments
- Professional water tank inspection services
- Internal and external water tank inspection
- Specialist cold water storage tank inspection

We evaluate tank condition, insulation, cleanliness, overflow arrangements and access points. Where improvements are needed, we provide practical, regulation-aligned recommendations.
