Fume and dust control across Worcestershire

Worcestershire runs from the cathedral city of Worcester and the spa town of Malvern through the carpet town of Kidderminster and the needle town of Redditch to the market towns of Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Evesham. It is a county of cathedral and market-town kitchens and the forging, needle, carpet and electronics estates of the west Midlands edge.

Every workshop across Worcestershire 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 Worcestershire to HSG258 - measured capture, a clear verdict and a reliable next-due date, from Bromsgrove to Worcester.

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 Bromsgrove drop-forge to a Redditch needle works, 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
LEV extraction arm and capture hood tested, Worcestershire

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 Worcestershire runs, and the substances they raise

Worcestershire raises fume and dust across a forging, needle and electronics economy, and each site owes the same duty to control it and prove it. Bromsgrove runs a drop-forge, Droitwich a salt works, and Kidderminster structural-steel fabrication, while Redditch keeps its needle and engineering works. Malvern builds electronics and precision instruments, Evesham runs plastics blow-moulding and Worcester bakery and food-production plants, with engineering units throughout. We examine and test the extraction on all of it to HSG258.

Examine, measure, report, label

1

Inspect

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

2

Test

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

3

Assess

The readings are judged against the design benchmark under HSG258, with a clear pass or fail on control.

4

Certify

The plant is labelled and you get the report and next-due date for your COSHH records.

LEV Testing questions

Do you cover the whole of Worcestershire?

Yes - across the county, from Worcester, Malvern and Kidderminster to Redditch, Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Evesham. 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 county?

Yes. We look after multi-site operators across Worcestershire 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.

Do you work around our opening hours?

Yes. We work overnight, early mornings, weekends and closing days so a Worcestershire 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 Worcestershire 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.
