LEV Testing · Somerset
LEV testing across Somerset - the Georgian city, the cathedral city and the market and coastal towns. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Somerset runs from the Georgian city of Bath and the cathedral city of Wells through the county town of Taunton and the market towns of Frome, Chard and Yeovil to the coast at Weston-super-Mare and the levels town of Bridgwater. It is a county of tourist cities, market towns and the food, foundry and aerospace estates of the West Country.
Every workshop across Somerset 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 Somerset to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Bath to Yeovil.
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 Yeovil precision shop to a Frome art-bronze foundry, 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.
We cover the whole of Somerset - every town below has its own page for this service.
Somerset raises fume and dust across a food, foundry and aerospace economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. Yeovil runs the helicopter-supply precision machine shops, Frome casts art bronze and iron, and Bridgwater laminates fibreglass, while Weston-super-Mare mills flour and runs food plants and Chard moulds plastics. Bath runs signwriting and vehicle-wrap shops, Wells stained-glass studios and Taunton traditional bakeries, with engineering 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 Bath, Wells and Taunton to Yeovil, Frome, Bridgwater, Chard and Weston-super-Mare. 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 Somerset 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 Somerset 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 Somerset 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 Somerset.
