LEV Testing · Kent
LEV testing across the Garden of England - from the Thanet coast to the Medway towns and the Weald. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Kent runs from the Thanet resorts and the oyster quays of Whitstable round to the Cinque Ports at Deal and Folkestone, up the Medway through Chatham and Rochester, and inland to Canterbury, the county town of Maidstone and the spa streets of Royal Tunbridge Wells. It is a county of seaside kitchens, cathedral-city restaurants, market towns and the trade estates that feed the cross-Channel routes at Ashford and Dover.
Every workshop across Kent 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 Kent to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Ashford to Whitstable.
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 Chatham boat-repair yard to a Sittingbourne battery plant, 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 Kent - every town below has its own page for this service.
Kent raises fume and dust across a wide industrial spread, and each site carries the same duty to control it and prove the control with a test. The Medway keeps a marine trade - the boat-repair yards of Chatham, the boatyard at Deal and the oyster and shellfish processing at Whitstable - while Strood casts precast concrete and Maidstone makes paper. Rochester builds avionics and electronics, Sittingbourne coats and assembles battery cells, and Tonbridge works the sports-leather and cricket-ball trade, with joinery and engineering units from Ashford to Sevenoaks and Gillingham 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 Ashford, Canterbury and Maidstone to the coast at Margate, Broadstairs, Herne Bay, Whitstable, Deal and Folkestone and through the Medway towns of Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester and Strood. 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 Kent 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 Kent 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 Kent 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 Kent.
