LEV Testing · Greater Manchester
LEV testing across Greater Manchester - the city centre, the mill towns and the trade estates of the ten boroughs. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Greater Manchester runs from the city-centre kitchens of Manchester and Salford out through the old cotton towns - Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Wigan and the towns between - each with its market, its high street and the trade estates that took over from the mills. It is one of the densest hospitality and light-industrial economies in the country, from Altrincham's market to the Trafford Park works.
Every workshop across Greater Manchester 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 Greater Manchester to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Altrincham to Wythenshawe.
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 Bury cement plant to a Salford prototyping shop, 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 Greater Manchester - every town below has its own page for this service.
Greater Manchester turned its mill floors to new trades, and the fume and dust its workshops raise all carry the same duty to control and to prove it. Bury batches cement and aggregates, Radcliffe makes paper and board, Heywood compounds rubber and Farnworth converts foam, while Oldham keeps its textile-machinery engineering and Stretford manufactures printing ink. Salford and Leigh run additive-manufacturing and prototyping shops, Bramhall a dental laboratory and Altrincham the diagnostic and veterinary labs, with engineering and fabrication shops from Bolton to Wigan throughout. We examine and test the extraction on all of it to HSG258.
We examine the condition of the hoods, ducting, filter and fan and how each is meant to control its process.
We measure capture and face velocities, transport velocity and static pressure at every key point.
The readings are judged against the design benchmark under HSG258, with a clear pass or fail on control.
The plant is labelled and you get the report and next-due date for your COSHH records.
Yes - across all ten boroughs, from Manchester and Salford to Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Wigan and the towns between, including Altrincham, Sale, Hyde, Leigh and Ashton-under-Lyne. 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 Greater Manchester on one schedule - a single survey, one set of certificates and a next-due date per site - so a group with kitchens in several boroughs keeps its compliance in one place.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings, weekends and closing days so a Greater Manchester kitchen or workshop 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 Greater Manchester 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 Greater Manchester.
