How to commission work in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland dutyholders should refer to HSENI and the relevant local legal framework rather than relying solely on England-focused copy.
Common service enquiries include risk assessments, sampling, monitoring, water hygiene training and remedial works. Verify the precise equipment or water system scope and the distance to your property, rather than treating a company based in the wider area as guaranteed local coverage.
What to include in the first enquiry
- Exact site location, access details and contact person
- Urgency and business consequences of delaying the work
- System or equipment type and relevant previous records
- Scope, delivery date, documentation and quote requirements
Local comparison criteria

Important buying principle
The dutyholder retains responsibility for legionella risk control. A provider can help assess and implement measures but an invoice or certificate does not transfer legal accountability.
