It’s been a busy start to 2017 here at Legionella Edinburgh. We were back to business with a bang in January, carrying out legionella risk assessments, PAT testing, energy performance certificates and our other compliance services in Edinburgh, the Borders, Perth, Dundee and Fife. At the end of January we celebrated our two year anniversary. It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since we started offering legionella risk assessments and other services to the good landlords and letting agents of Edinburgh and beyond – time flies when you’re having fun!
Educational seminar with Envirovent
In February we hosted a well attended educational seminar for letting agents with our friends at Envirovent. We presented a session on legionella awareness, and Envirovent delivered a session on damp and mould, and how their products can help with these. We’re aware that there’s a real lack of regular training events for letting agents, particularly in Edinburgh. We intend to deliver educational events like this on a more regular basis. We’ll keep clients updated on this as plans develop, but to ensure you’re on our invite list for future events just drop us a line at info@legionellaedinburgh.com.
Cold water tank cleaning and remedial plumbing works
We’ve also been working to develop the range of services we can help with. At present we offer legionella risk assessments, portable appliance testing and EPCs in house. In partnership with key suppliers we also offer gas safety checks, EICRs, installation of mains smoke and heat alarms and other electrical works. We are currently exploring options with a local company to offer remedial plumbing works following legionella risk assessments, including cleaning of cold water tanks. We’re aware that finding tradesmen willing to carry out these works for a reasonable price has been a real sticking point for landlords and letting agents, and we’re keen to help solve this problem. If this is something that you would be interested in finding out more about please just let us know.
Letting Agent meetup – coming soon
In April we are planning on launching a monthly meetup event for letting agents; part social event, part industry networking and updates. Watch this space for more info.
