What Legionella and Fire Safe does

Legionella and Fire Safe Services UK Ltd (trading as Legionella & Fire Safe, LFS) is a UK-based privately held compliance services firm headquartered in Lichfield, Staffordshire, founded in 2017. The company delivers two principal service lines — water hygiene and legionella control (risk assessments, compliance programmes, water sampling, remedial works, tank cleaning, chlorination) and passive fire protection (fire risk assessments, fire door surveys, fire door installation/maintenance, fire stopping, smoke control, cavity barriers) — to UK social housing providers, local authorities, large commercial property owners, and landlords. It also operates a Regeneration division focused on energy-efficient installations, notably as a Mixergy Approved Installer and National Service & Warranty Partner for smart hot water cylinders, plus soil and vent pipe replacement, and runs an LFS Academy training division. The company holds an unusually dense set of UK compliance accreditations (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, BM Trada, CHAS, SSIP, Constructionline Gold, SafeContractor, UKAS Q-Mark, FPA, PAS 2030, LCA, BSI).

The business model is professional services, project-based plus recurring monitoring contracts, sold via a sales-led GTM with a national UK field team of corporately-trained technicians and inside-sales support through a 0800 phone line and web contact forms. Pricing is quote-based with free surveys; revenue derives from one-off assessments and remediation projects alongside ongoing compliance monitoring. Marketing is primarily inbound (website, blog, referrals from accreditation bodies and industry partners) plus direct phone enquiries for enterprise and mid-market buyers. The company is privately held with no external institutional investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries disclosed; it is carbon-neutral through its Ecologi partnership and has committed to a 25% environmental footprint reduction by 2030. Senior management has over 35 years of water industry experience, and named customers include Midcounties Co-operative, Wates Property Services, Birmingham City Council, Equans, Fortem, and Engie.
