Fume and dust control across Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire runs from the county town of Northampton through the boot and shoe towns of Kettering, Wellingborough and Rushden to the steel town of Corby and the logistics hub of Daventry. It is a county of market-town kitchens and the footwear, steel and distribution estates of the east Midlands.

Every workshop across Northamptonshire 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 Northamptonshire to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Corby to Wellingborough.

Fourteen months, and whose name is on it

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 Northampton shoe works to a Wellingborough foundry, the job ends in a report and a label - what was measured, what passed, and the date the next test falls due.

  • The system examined end to end - hood to discharge
  • Capture and face velocities measured at source
  • Transport velocity and static pressure recorded
  • A report, a verdict and a label with 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 Northamptonshire runs, and the substances they raise

Northamptonshire raises fume and dust across a footwear, steel and manufacturing economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. Northampton keeps its shoe and leather works, Rushden a footwear factory, and Corby cement and aggregates plants, while Wellingborough runs iron and metal foundries. Daventry builds generator sets and Kettering runs print and carton-packaging works, 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 Northamptonshire?

Yes - across the county, from Northampton, Kettering and Corby to Wellingborough, Rushden and Daventry. 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 Northamptonshire 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 Northamptonshire 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 Northamptonshire 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.
