Fume and dust control across Teesside

Teesside runs along the Tees through Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham and Redcar, out to Guisborough on the moorland edge. It is one of Britain's great chemical and process-industry rivers, with town-centre kitchens, a coast and the fertiliser, steel and fabrication estates that line the water.

Every workshop across Teesside 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 Teesside to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Billingham to Stockton-on-Tees.

Fourteen months, and whose name is on it

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 Billingham fertiliser works to a Redcar blast-and-coat line, the job ends in a report and a label - what was measured, what passed, and the date the next test falls due.

  • Visual and structural examination of hoods, ducting, filter and fan
  • Measured airflow, capture and face velocities at the working points
  • Static pressure and duct transport velocity readings recorded
  • Report against the benchmark, with a label and the next-due date

The workplaces that need an LEV test

01 / At source

Hoods & capture

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.

02 / The path

Ducting & air cleaner

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.

03 / The engine

Fan & discharge

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.

The industries Teesside runs, and the substances they raise

Teesside is a chemical and process river, and each site owes the same duty to control what it raises and to prove it. Billingham makes fertiliser and ammonia chemicals, Middlesbrough runs steel and process works, and Redcar the blast-and-coat lines on the fabrication estates, while Stockton-on-Tees runs commercial bakeries and food plants and Guisborough print and engineering units, with fabrication shops throughout. We examine and test the extraction on all of it to HSG258.

Examine, measure, report, label

1

Inspect

We examine the hoods, ducting, filter and fan and identify how each is meant to control its process.

2

Take readings

We record capture and face velocities, transport velocity and static pressure at every key point.

3

Judge

The readings are assessed against the design intent under HSG258, with a clear verdict on control.

4

Label up

The plant is labelled with the result and next-due date, and you get the report for the COSHH file.

LEV Testing questions

Do you cover the whole of Teesside?

Yes - across the area, from Middlesbrough and Stockton-on-Tees to Billingham, Redcar and Guisborough. 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 area?

Yes. We look after multi-site operators across Teesside on one schedule - a single survey, one set of certificates and a next-due date per site - so a group with kitchens or works 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 Teesside 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 Teesside 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.
