About SampleHub

Sample Hub was created by some of the most experienced minds in UK water treatment and hygiene management. After years working in the field, conducting risk assessments, managing sampling programmes and advising facilities on Legionella compliance, our founders identified a glaring gap in the market.

There was no single, purpose-built tool dedicated to water sampling programme management. Professionals were cobbling together spreadsheets, emails and paper records to manage work that directly impacts public health. We knew there had to be a better way. SampleHub is that better way.

Our mission

Making every sample count.

To ensure that every water sample taken in UK facilities is collected correctly, analysed properly, interpreted accurately and followed up without fail. Water hygiene compliance is not optional. Under HSE ACOP L8, HTM 04-01 and a range of sector-specific regulations, facilities managers and water hygiene contractors have clear legal duties. SampleHub exists to help every one of them meet those duties simply, reliably and affordably.
