LEV Testing · Staffordshire
LEV testing across Staffordshire - the Potteries, the brewing town and the county's market and industrial towns. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Staffordshire runs from the Potteries city of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme through the county town of Stafford and the cathedral city of Lichfield to the brewing town of Burton-on-Trent, out to Cannock, Tamworth, Burntwood and the moorland town of Leek. It is a county of ceramics, brewing, engineering and food, with market towns and industrial estates throughout.
Every workshop across Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Burntwood to Tamworth.
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 Lichfield sanitaryware plant to a Burton cooperage, 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 Staffordshire - every town below has its own page for this service.
Staffordshire keeps a broad spread of ceramics, brewing and metal trades, and each site owes the same duty to control what it raises and to prove it. Lichfield makes sanitaryware ceramics and Stafford casts and founds metal, while Burton-on-Trent works its cooperage and Cannock runs paper and board mills. Stoke-on-Trent keeps its toxicology and testing laboratories, Burntwood mills animal feed, Leek runs an agricultural feed mill, Tamworth its research laboratories and Newcastle-under-Lyme shopfitting and joinery, with engineering units throughout. We examine and test the extraction on all of it to HSG258.
We inspect the system's condition - hoods, ducting, filter and fan - and identify how it is meant to control each process.
We take the readings: capture and face velocities, duct transport velocity and static pressure at the key points.
We assess the readings against the benchmark and set out clearly whether the system is controlling the exposure.
The system is labelled with the test result and next-due date, and you get the report for your COSHH file.
Yes - across the county, from Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford to Lichfield, Burton-on-Trent, Cannock, Tamworth, Burntwood and Leek. 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 Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire.
