Covering Luton
Luton is our home base. IM Water Hygiene Specialists Ltd is based in the town, and Isaac Maginn has spent 20 years helping organisations improve their Legionella control. Our services are available for the town's mix of buildings, from town-centre offices and retail units to schools, healthcare premises and the large stock of rented terraced housing.
Because we're based in Luton, getting to you is straightforward wherever you are in the town, whether that's the town centre, Stopsley, Leagrave, Wigmore or Bury Park. We're available 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. Call 07398 411881 and we'll give you a realistic time for your visit.
Luton has a wide mix of property: Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war and post-war housing estates, newer apartment blocks, schools, healthcare premises, industrial and logistics units around the airport and the M1, and office buildings in the town centre. Each has different water systems and different Legionella risks.
Services available in Luton include Legionella risk assessments for landlords and commercial premises, tank cleaning and disinfection for buildings with stored cold water, temperature monitoring for schools and offices, and Gas Safe boiler installations and servicing for homes and rental properties.

Why choose us
Local issues
Luton's large stock of rented terraced and semi-detached homes means many properties have loft cold water tanks that have not been inspected in years, and many change hands between tenancies, leaving water standing. Converted houses in multiple occupation often have altered pipework with dead legs left from previous layouts.
Loft tanks and pipework in roof spaces warm up quickly in summer, pushing stored cold water towards the temperature range where Legionella grows. Luton's water is also hard, so limescale builds up on shower heads, mixing valves and water heaters, giving bacteria somewhere to shelter.
Industrial and logistics units near the airport and motorway often have large welfare facilities with showers that are used heavily on some shifts and barely at all on others. Town-centre offices and retail units frequently share tanks and plant across several tenants, which can leave unused outlets nobody takes responsibility for.
Older Victorian and Edwardian buildings may still have galvanised tanks, long pipe runs and poorly insulated pipework. Post-war schools and public buildings have often been extended several times, with pipework added piecemeal. Both can make temperature control difficult.

Guide
If you own, manage or let a building in Luton, you have a legal duty to assess and control the risk from Legionella. That applies to employers, facilities managers, school business managers and landlords alike. The starting point is a Legionella risk assessment that is specific to your building, followed by a practical plan to control the risks it finds.
For Luton landlords, a proportionate assessment of each rental property is usually straightforward, but it matters. Properties that stand empty between tenancies, loft tanks that have not been checked, and showers in spare rooms that are rarely used all raise risk. We give landlords clear, practical assessments and can discuss follow-up work under an agreed scope and schedule.
For schools and commercial premises in Luton, we can run the whole programme: risk assessment, written scheme, monitoring, tank cleaning and remedial works. Because we're also Gas Safe registered, the same local team can look after your boilers and plumbing too, which means fewer contractors on site.
We also cover the surrounding area, including Dunstable, Harpenden, St Albans and Hemel Hempstead, the wider Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire area, and further afield, with nationwide coverage available.
Schools and colleges across Luton need control regimes that cope with term time and long holidays. Holiday flushing, pre-term checks, monitoring and records can be discussed as part of an agreed control programme.
Healthcare and care premises in Luton serve people who may be more vulnerable to infection, so temperature control and records need extra care. We plan checks around clinical and residential areas to keep disruption low.
Offices, shops and industrial units in the town centre and around the airport often share plant and tanks across tenants. We help landlords and managing agents set clear responsibilities to clarify responsibility for outlets and tanks.
Luton landlords and homeowners get proportionate Legionella assessments, loft tank cleaning, plumbing and Gas Safe boiler work from the same local team, with the scope and number of visits agreed for the work required.
