Water Hygiene, Legionella Control & PAT Testing Across Cumbria
About Us
With over 20 years of real-world experience in the water, utilities, and site services industry, I established Lakeland Water Hygiene to provide practical, no-nonsense water hygiene, Legionella management, and PAT testing services across Cumbria and the Lake District.
My background is in managing real operational water systems and site utilities in high-risk, regulated environments, including complex sites with controlled discharge to river and within baby food manufacturing, where water quality, hygiene, and safety standards have to be absolutely right. This role also involved responsibility for site compliance, equipment safety, and supporting safe operation of electrical and mechanical plant.
Unlike many providers who rely solely on templates and tick-box exercises, I bring hands-on engineering experience to every assessment and test. This ensures both water systems and electrical appliances are assessed practically, correctly, and with a clear understanding of how they operate in real working environments.
Compliance for Your Business and Premises
Maintaining compliance is an essential responsibility for anyone managing property, whether you operate a holiday let, rental accommodation, commercial premises, or public-facing business. Ensuring both water systems and electrical appliances are properly managed helps protect guests, staff, and visitors, while supporting your legal duties.
Lakeland Water Hygiene provides professional Legionella risk assessments, ongoing water hygiene support, and PAT testing services to help ensure your property remains safe and compliant. Our water hygiene services identify and control risks within hot and cold water systems, supported by clear documentation, written schemes of control, and routine monitoring where required.
Our PAT testing service ensures portable electrical appliances are professionally inspected, tested, and clearly documented with pass and fail labelling and digital certification, helping you demonstrate electrical safety compliance.
Our approach is practical, proportionate, and based on real engineering experience — giving you confidence that your property, equipment, and the people who use them are properly protected.
Keeping Your Property Compliant
These reviews cover a wide range of factors — from assessing the effectiveness of existing control measures for water systems to ensuring portable electrical appliances are safe and suitable for continued use, with any necessary updates implemented in line with current regulations and recognised guidance.
Lakeland Water Hygiene provides the expertise needed to keep your property compliant and safe, allowing you to focus on running your business and welcoming guests with confidence. Services such as showerhead cleaning and disinfection help prevent bacterial growth and maintain water hygiene, while professional PAT testing ensures electrical appliances are inspected, tested, and clearly documented to support safety and compliance.
Together, these services help protect your guests, staff, and property, while demonstrating that your water systems and electrical equipment are being managed responsibly.
Compliance Made Simple
Our straightforward compliance packages offer an efficient solution for landlords, residential blocks, holiday lets, and short-term rental owners. We provide tailored documentation, practical guidance, and professional PAT testing to help ensure your water systems and electrical appliances are safe, compliant, and your legal responsibilities are met with confidence.
For hotels, care facilities, and commercial properties, our comprehensive water hygiene and electrical safety services help ensure systems and equipment operate safely and in line with recognised guidance. This includes cold water storage tank inspections, written schemes of control, full Legionella risk assessments, routine monitoring programmes, and Portable Appliance Testing with clear certification and asset registers.
Our aim is to make compliance straightforward, practical, and proportionate — giving you confidence that your property, equipment, and the people who use them are properly protected.
This means I understand not just what the guidance says, but how water systems and workplace equipment actually behave in the real world, and how risks genuinely develop — not just how they look on paper.
At Lakeland Water Hygiene, I work directly with landlords, holiday let owners, Airbnb hosts, small businesses, and duty holders, providing clear, fully compliant Legionella risk assessments, written schemes of control, ongoing water hygiene support, and professional PAT testing services to help ensure electrical equipment is safe and compliant.
My aim is simple: to make compliance straightforward, practical, and proportionate — ensuring the safety of the people using your property, both in terms of water hygiene and electrical safety, while giving you complete confidence and peace of mind.
