Why York sites choose planned water hygiene
Commercial property in York includes multi-let office buildings with shared plant, city-centre retail and leisure units and purpose-built student and residential blocks. Each has different hours, plant and statutory duties, so the scope is set after we have walked the site.
In York, buildings with low occupancy or seasonal use need particular care because little-used outlets raise Legionella risk.
