Fume and dust control across Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire runs from the cathedral city of Lincoln and the market town of Grantham to the Humber ports of Grimsby and Scunthorpe, out to the fen town of Boston and Spalding and along the coast to Cleethorpes and Skegness. It is a farming and food county, with fishing ports, a steel town and the market towns of the fens.

Every workshop across Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Boston to Spalding.

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 Scunthorpe steel works to a Lincoln turbine 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
LEV extraction arm and capture hood tested, Lincolnshire

The workplaces that need an LEV test

01 / Capture

Hoods at source

Control stands or falls at the hood. We measure capture and face velocities at the point the fume, mist or dust is actually released, not just at the fan.

02 / The system

Ducting & cleaner

Transport velocity, leakage and the air cleaner all decide whether the contaminant reaches discharge. We inspect and measure the length of the system, not a sample of it.

03 / Pressure

Fan & static pressure

Fan performance and static pressure are where a quietly failing system gives itself away. We take the readings that separate a working system from one that only looks it.

The industries Lincolnshire runs, and the substances they raise

Lincolnshire raises fume and dust across a food, fishing and heavy-industry economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. Scunthorpe makes steel, Grimsby runs heavy-fabrication and offshore works, and Lincoln builds power and turbine plant, while Boston makes lead-acid batteries and Cleethorpes thermoforms food packaging. Grantham runs a tannery, Gainsborough manufactures golf clubs, Spalding builds agricultural machinery and Skegness holiday-home joinery, with engineering units throughout. We examine and test the extraction on all of it to HSG258.

Examine, measure, report, label

1

Examine

We inspect the system's condition - hoods, ducting, filter and fan - and identify how it is meant to control each process.

2

Measure

We take the readings: capture and face velocities, duct transport velocity and static pressure at the key points.

3

Report

We assess the readings against the benchmark and set out clearly whether the system is controlling the exposure.

4

Label

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

LEV Testing questions

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

Yes - across the county, from Lincoln, Grantham and Boston to Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Cleethorpes, Skegness, Spalding and Gainsborough. 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 Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire kitchen or works 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 Lincolnshire 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.
