LEV Testing · Tyne and Wear
LEV testing across Tyne and Wear - Newcastle and Sunderland, the coast and the riverside estates. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
Tyne and Wear runs along the Tyne through Newcastle, Gateshead, Jarrow and the Shields towns to the coast at Tynemouth and Whitley Bay, and down the Wear to Sunderland and Washington. It is a riverside county, its shipyards and heavy industry turned to a new economy of manufacturing, electronics and food, with a dense city and coastal hospitality trade.
Every workshop across Tyne and Wear 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 Tyne and Wear to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Gateshead to Whitley Bay.
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 Jarrow battery works to a North Shields smokehouse, the job ends in a report and a label - what was measured, what passed, and the date the next test falls due.
Control stands or falls at the hood. We measure capture and face velocities at the point the fume, mist or dust is actually released, not just at the fan.
Transport velocity, leakage and the air cleaner all decide whether the contaminant reaches discharge. We inspect and measure the length of the system, not a sample of it.
Fan performance and static pressure are where a quietly failing system gives itself away. We take the readings that separate a working system from one that only looks it.
We cover the whole of Tyne and Wear - every town below has its own page for this service.
Tyne and Wear carries a manufacturing economy along its two rivers, and each site owes the same duty to control what it raises and to prove it. Jarrow makes battery cells and Washington runs chemical-processing plants, while Sunderland and Newcastle build electronics and additive-manufactured parts. North Shields smokes and processes fish, Gosforth roasts coffee, Whitley Bay runs vehicle bodyshops, Tynemouth keeps its building and restoration masonry and Gateshead its cabinet shops, with engineering units throughout. We examine and test the extraction on all of it to HSG258.
We examine the hoods, ducting, filter and fan and identify how each is meant to control its process.
We record capture and face velocities, transport velocity and static pressure at every key point.
The readings are assessed against the design intent under HSG258, with a clear verdict on control.
The plant is labelled with the result and next-due date, and you get the report for the COSHH file.
Yes - across the county, from Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Sunderland to Jarrow, North Shields, South Shields, Tynemouth, Whitley Bay, Washington and Gosforth. 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 Tyne and Wear 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 Tyne and Wear 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 Tyne and Wear 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 Tyne and Wear.
