LEV Testing · Suffolk
LEV testing across Suffolk - the county town, the brewing town and the port on the coast. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Suffolk runs from the county town of Ipswich through the brewing town of Bury St Edmunds to the port and resort of Lowestoft on the coast. It is a county of port and market-town kitchens and the brewing, engineering and food-processing estates of East Anglia.
Every workshop across Suffolk 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 Suffolk to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Bury St Edmunds to Lowestoft.
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 Bury St Edmunds brewery to a Lowestoft frozen-food plant, 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 Suffolk - every town below has its own page for this service.
Suffolk raises fume and dust across a brewing, engineering and food economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. Bury St Edmunds runs its brewery, Ipswich engineering and port works and joinery, and Lowestoft a frozen-food processing plant, with fabrication 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 Ipswich to Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft. 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 Suffolk 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 Suffolk 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 Suffolk 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 Suffolk.
