LEV Testing · Derbyshire
LEV testing across Derbyshire - the city, the spa and market towns and the Peak and coalfield estates. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Derbyshire runs from the city of Derby and the market town of Chesterfield to the spa town of Buxton in the Peak, and out to Ilkeston, Long Eaton, Alfreton and Glossop on the county's edges. It is a county of city and market-town kitchens, Peak District tourism and the engineering, foundry and manufacturing estates of the coalfield.
Every workshop across Derbyshire 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 Derbyshire to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Alfreton to Swadlincote.
A thorough examination and test under COSHH is a real assessment, not a rubber stamp. It is a structured examination of the system's condition, measurement of its actual performance, and an assessment of those readings against how the system should perform to control the exposure. It follows the HSE's guidance, HSG258, and ends in a report and a label.
From an Alfreton foundry to a Buxton lime works, the job ends in a report and a label - what was measured, what passed, and the date the next test falls due.
Control stands or falls at the hood. We measure capture and face velocities at the point the fume, mist or dust is actually released, not just at the fan.
Transport velocity, leakage and the air cleaner all decide whether the contaminant reaches discharge. We inspect and measure the length of the system, not a sample of it.
Fan performance and static pressure are where a quietly failing system gives itself away. We take the readings that separate a working system from one that only looks it.
We cover the whole of Derbyshire - every town below has its own page for this service.
Derbyshire raises fume and dust across a foundry, chemical and manufacturing economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. Alfreton runs an iron foundry, Buxton the lime and limestone works, and Glossop a PVC calendering plant, while Ilkeston fills aerosols and chemicals and Long Eaton makes upholstery and furniture. Chesterfield runs commercial bakeries and food plants and Derby its woodworking and engineering works, with fabrication units 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 Derby, Chesterfield and Buxton to Alfreton, Ilkeston, Long Eaton and Glossop. 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 Derbyshire 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 Derbyshire 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 Derbyshire 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 Derbyshire.
