LEV Testing · Cumbria
LEV testing across Cumbria - the border city, the Lakeland towns and the west-coast industrial ports. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Cumbria runs from the border city of Carlisle down the west coast through the shipbuilding town of Barrow-in-Furness and the ports of Whitehaven and Workington, and inland to the Lakeland towns of Kendal, Penrith and Ulverston. It is a county of Lakeland tourist kitchens, market towns and the shipyard and industrial ports of the west coast.
Every workshop across Cumbria that welds, machines, sprays, mills or bakes raises fume, mist or dust the law says must be controlled. We examine and test local exhaust ventilation across Cumbria to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Barrow-in-Furness to Workington.
The point of a thorough examination and test is to prove the extraction still controls the exposure - so we measure it, we do not eyeball it. Condition, capture and face velocities, transport velocity and static pressure are checked against the design intent under HSG258, and the result is written up and labelled on the plant.
From a Barrow shipyard to a Workington foundry, the job ends in a report and a label - what was measured, what passed, and the date the next test falls due.
The hoods and capture points are where the system either catches the fume, mist or dust or lets it escape. We measure capture and face velocities where the contaminant is released.
We check the ducting for transport velocity and leaks and assess the filter or air cleaner - the parts that quietly degrade and drop a system below its design performance.
We test the fan performance and the discharge, and measure the static pressure across the system - the readings that reveal a system pulling below its design figure.
We cover the whole of Cumbria - every town below has its own page for this service.
Cumbria raises fume and dust across a shipbuilding, chemical and food economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. Barrow-in-Furness runs its shipyard fabrication halls, Whitehaven a surfactant and detergent chemical works, and Workington an iron and steel foundry, while Penrith keeps its foundry and engineering units. Carlisle mills agricultural feed and runs logistics, Kendal keeps its snuff and tobacco mills and Ulverston bakery and engineering units, with fabrication shops throughout. We examine and test the extraction on all of it to HSG258.
We inspect the system's condition - hoods, ducting, filter and fan - and identify how it is meant to control each process.
We take the readings: capture and face velocities, duct transport velocity and static pressure at the key points.
We assess the readings against the benchmark and set out clearly whether the system is controlling the exposure.
The system is labelled with the test result and next-due date, and you get the report for your COSHH file.
Yes - across the county, from Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness and Kendal to Whitehaven, Workington, Penrith and Ulverston. Each town has its own page for this service; call 07961 915018 or use the contact form and we will confirm and quote.
Yes. We look after multi-site operators across Cumbria on one schedule - a single survey, one set of certificates and a next-due date per site - so a group with kitchens in several towns keeps its compliance in one place.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings, weekends and closing days so a Cumbria kitchen or works keeps running while we clean, degrease or test.
Yes. Duct and extraction cleaning is certified to TR19 Grease with a photo record, kitchen deep cleans carry a certificate and report for your food hygiene file, and LEV testing is reported and labelled to HSG258.
We have carried out LEV thorough examination and testing to HSG258 since 2001, across Cumbria and the UK. From a machine shop to a joinery, a spray booth or a lab fume cupboard, the job ends the same way: measured readings, a clear verdict, and a label whose next-due date you can rely on.
Tell us your site and we will survey, quote and certify - anywhere in Cumbria.
