LEV Testing · Essex
LEV testing across Essex - the Thames-side towns, the county's market towns and the Southend coast. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Essex runs from the Thames-side towns of Grays Thurrock, Basildon and Canvey Island round to the resort of Southend-on-Sea, up through the new town of Harlow and the county town of Chelmsford to historic Colchester and Saffron Walden, with Brentwood, Loughton and Rayleigh on the London edge. It is a county of estuary kitchens, market towns and the industrial estates strung along the Thames and the arterial roads.
Every workshop across Essex 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 Essex to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Basildon to Southend-on-Sea.
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 a Grays edible-oils refinery to a Loughton security printer, the job ends in a report and a label - what was measured, what passed, and the date the next test falls due.
Control is won or lost at the hood. We measure capture and face velocities where the fume, mist or dust is released, not merely at the fan.
Transport velocity, leakage and the state of the filter or air cleaner all decide whether the contaminant reaches discharge. We inspect and measure the whole route, not a sample.
Fan performance and static pressure are where a quietly failing system shows itself. We take the readings that tell a working system from one that only looks the part.
We cover the whole of Essex - every town below has its own page for this service.
Essex raises fume and dust from the Thames wharves to the market towns, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. Grays Thurrock refines edible oils on the riverside and Canvey Island makes paper and board, while Chelmsford builds electronics and batteries and Basildon runs automotive and engineering works. Loughton keeps its security printing, Brentwood prints cartons and labels, Rayleigh finishes and powder-coats metal, Harlow runs print and imaging and Saffron Walden a jewellery and silversmith trade, with engineering and fabrication shops throughout. We examine and test the extraction on all of it to HSG258.
We examine the hoods, ducting, filter and fan and identify how each is meant to control its process.
We record capture and face velocities, transport velocity and static pressure at every key point.
The readings are assessed against the design intent under HSG258, with a clear verdict on control.
The plant is labelled with the result and next-due date, and you get the report for the COSHH file.
Yes - across the county, from Chelmsford, Colchester and Basildon to Southend-on-Sea, Grays Thurrock, Canvey Island, Harlow, Brentwood, Loughton, Rayleigh and Saffron Walden. 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 Essex 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 an Essex 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 Essex 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 Essex.
