LEV Testing · Merseyside
LEV testing across Merseyside - the city, the Wirral, the dockside and the glass and coast towns. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Merseyside runs from the city of Liverpool across the Mersey to Birkenhead on the Wirral, up the coast to Bootle, Formby and the resort of Southport, and inland to the glass town of St Helens and Kirkby. It is a maritime county of dockside kitchens, city dining, coastal resorts and the glass and manufacturing estates.
Every workshop across Merseyside 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 Merseyside to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Birkenhead to St Helens.
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 St Helens glass plant to a Bootle cement wharf, 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.
Merseyside raises fume and dust across a glass, dockside and manufacturing economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. St Helens makes glass and runs food-production plants, Bootle batches dockside cement and aggregates, and Liverpool keeps the foundries and engineering works of Speke, while Kirkby runs a coated-fabric plant. Birkenhead works woodworking and joinery, Formby runs a fine-art print and finishing studio and Southport jobbing-engineering and welding shops, with fabrication units 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 the county, from Liverpool, Birkenhead and St Helens to Bootle, Formby, Kirkby and Southport. 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 Merseyside 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 Merseyside 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 Merseyside 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 Merseyside.
