Fume and dust control across Hampshire

Hampshire runs from the naval city of Portsmouth and the port of Southampton along the Solent through Gosport, Fareham and Havant, up to the county town of Winchester and the military and aviation towns of Aldershot, Farnborough, Basingstoke and Fleet, out to Andover and down to Totton on the New Forest edge. It is a county of Solent kitchens, garrison towns and the aviation and marine estates that define its industry.

Every workshop across Hampshire 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 Hampshire to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Aldershot to Winchester.

Fourteen months, and whose name is on it

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 Fareham shipyard to a Farnborough aviation shop, the job ends in a report and a label - what was measured, what passed, and the date the next test falls due.

  • Visual and structural examination of hoods, ducting, filter and fan
  • Measured airflow, capture and face velocities at the working points
  • Static pressure and duct transport velocity readings recorded
  • Report against the benchmark, with a label and the next-due date

The workplaces that need an LEV test

01 / At the source

Hoods & capture

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.

02 / The route

Ducting & air cleaner

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.

03 / The engine

Fan & static pressure

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.

The industries Hampshire runs, and the substances they raise

Hampshire raises fume and dust across a Solent and aviation economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. The waterside keeps its marine trades - the shipyard and marine-fabrication at Fareham, the marine engine workshops at Havant, the marine rubber and polymer at Gosport and the boat and engineering works at Portsmouth - while Farnborough runs its airside de-icing and aviation works and Aldershot its laser and plasma sheet-metal shops. Fleet fills cosmetics and aerosols, Andover builds and paints lifts, Basingstoke runs security print, Winchester makes adhesives and sealants and Totton saws timber, 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 condition of the hoods, ducting, filter and fan and how each is meant to control its process.

2

Test

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

3

Assess

The readings are judged against the design benchmark under HSG258, with a clear pass or fail on control.

4

Certify

The plant is labelled and you get the report and next-due date for your COSHH records.

LEV Testing questions

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Yes - across the county, from Portsmouth, Southampton and Winchester to Gosport, Fareham, Havant, Aldershot, Farnborough, Basingstoke, Fleet, Andover and Totton. 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 Hampshire 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 Hampshire 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 Hampshire 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.
