LEV Testing · the West Midlands
LEV testing across the West Midlands - Coventry, the Black Country and the towns of the old metal trades. COSHH thorough examination and test of the fume and dust extraction in your workshops - measured, reported and certified.
The West Midlands runs from Coventry through Solihull and Sutton Coldfield to Wolverhampton and the Black Country towns - Dudley, Walsall, West Bromwich, Halesowen, Stourbridge and the lock, glass and metal towns between. It is the workshop of England, a county of foundries, forges, glasshouses and finishing shops with a dense hospitality economy layered over the top.
Every workshop across the West Midlands 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 the West Midlands to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Bilston to Wolverhampton.
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 Dudley foundry to a Willenhall lock works, 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 the West Midlands - every town below has its own page for this service.
The West Midlands is the densest concentration of fume-and-dust trades in the country, and every one owes the same duty to control what it raises and to prove it with a test. The Black Country keeps its metal - the foundries and forges of Dudley and the drop-forging at Halesowen, the hot-dip galvanizing at Sedgley and Wednesbury, the electroplating at Bloxwich, the lock and die-casting at Willenhall and the leather and metal-finishing at Walsall - alongside the glassworks of Stourbridge and Kingswinford and the vitreous-enamelling at Bilston. Coventry and Solihull run the automotive plants, their supply chains and advanced-manufacturing shops, Oldbury the phosphate and detergent chemical works, Smethwick rubber and West Bromwich paper and board, 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 Coventry, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield to Wolverhampton and the Black Country towns of Dudley, Walsall, West Bromwich, Halesowen, Stourbridge, Bilston, Bloxwich, Sedgley, Smethwick, Tipton, Wednesbury, Willenhall, Kingswinford and Oldbury. 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 the West Midlands on one schedule - a single survey, one set of certificates and a next-due date per site - so a group with kitchens or workshops in several towns keeps its compliance in one place.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings, weekends and closing days so a West Midlands 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 the West Midlands 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 the West Midlands.
