Fume and dust control across Devon

Devon runs from the cathedral city of Exeter and the naval city of Plymouth to the English Riviera at Torquay, up to the north-coast towns of Barnstaple and Bideford and inland to Newton Abbot, Tavistock and Totnes. It is a county of two coasts, harbour kitchens, market towns and the estates that serve its tourist and marine economy.

Every workshop across Devon 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 Devon to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Barnstaple to Totnes.

Fourteen months, and whose name is on it

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 Plymouth marine works to a Newton Abbot clay plant, the job ends in a report and a label - what was measured, what passed, and the date the next test falls due.

The workplaces that need an LEV test

01 / At source

Hoods & capture

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.

02 / The path

Ducting & air cleaner

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.

03 / The engine

Fan & discharge

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.

The industries Devon runs, and the substances they raise

Devon raises fume and dust across a marine, tourist and clay economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. Plymouth runs its marine and woodworking works, Newton Abbot processes the ball clay of the Bovey Basin, and Exeter keeps the Marsh Barton engineering and bodyshops, while Barnstaple runs a wholesale bakery and Bideford quarry and engineering units. Torquay keeps its toxicology and analytical laboratories, Tavistock vehicle refinishing bodyshops and Totnes a wood-recycling and biomass yard, with engineering units throughout. We examine and test the extraction on all of it to HSG258.

Examine, measure, report, label

1

Inspect

We examine the hoods, ducting, filter and fan and identify how each is meant to control its process.

2

Take readings

We record capture and face velocities, transport velocity and static pressure at every key point.

3

Judge

The readings are assessed against the design intent under HSG258, with a clear verdict on control.

4

Label up

The plant is labelled with the result and next-due date, and you get the report for the COSHH file.

LEV Testing questions

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Yes - across the county, from Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay to Barnstaple, Bideford, Newton Abbot, Tavistock and Totnes. Each town has its own page for this service; call 07961 915018 or use the contact form and we will confirm and quote.

Can you cover multiple sites across the county?

Yes. We look after multi-site operators across Devon 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.

Do you work around our opening hours?

Yes. We work overnight, early mornings, weekends and closing days so a Devon kitchen or workshop keeps running while we clean, degrease or test.

Is the work certified?

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.

20+ years of experience

We have carried out LEV thorough examination and testing to HSG258 since 2001, across Devon 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.
