LEV Testing · North Yorkshire
LEV testing across North Yorkshire - the historic city, the spa and market towns and the coast. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
North Yorkshire runs from the historic city of York and the spa town of Harrogate through the market towns of Skipton, Northallerton, Richmond and Knaresborough to the coast at Scarborough and Whitby. It is a county of tourist towns, cathedral and castle kitchens, and the market-town trade estates of the Dales and the Moors.
Every workshop across North Yorkshire 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 North Yorkshire to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Harrogate to York.
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 York confectionery works to a Whitby jet workshop, 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 North Yorkshire - every town below has its own page for this service.
North Yorkshire raises fume and dust across a food, engineering and craft economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. York makes confectionery and food, Scarborough powder-coats alloy wheels, and Northallerton runs engineering and composites units, while Whitby works jet and gemstone and Richmond keeps its cabinetmaking and French-polishing. Harrogate runs wide-format print and photographic studios, Skipton label printing and Knaresborough its Manse Lane workshops and labs, with engineering units 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 York, Harrogate and Scarborough to Whitby, Skipton, Northallerton, Richmond and Knaresborough. 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 North Yorkshire 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 North Yorkshire 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 North Yorkshire 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 North Yorkshire.
