HOW WE CAN HELP WITH LEV
Why choose Vent-Tech in Derby
Local Industrial Understanding
Derby is a key hub for high-value engineering and manufacturing, with strong links to aerospace, rail and advanced production across areas such as Pride Park, Sinfin and Alvaston. These environments operate at scale and pace, which means local exhaust ventilation systems must perform under real working conditions, not just during inspection.
COSHH Compliance
At Vent-Tech, we support businesses across Derby, Nottingham, Burton upon Trent and the wider Derbyshire area with structured LEV testing, maintenance and technical guidance that keeps systems compliant and workplaces protected.
Compliance is not just about meeting a requirement on paper. It is about being able to demonstrate that your LEV system is working as intended. Our work is aligned with HSG258 guidance and provides clear, audit-ready documentation, along with practical recommendations where improvements are required.
Qualified Professionals with Relevant Certificates
Our LEV services are carried out by BOHS P601 qualified engineers, ensuring competence and consistency in line with UK standards for LEV examination.
Our assessments go beyond surface-level checks. We measure airflow, assess pressure, review system condition and evaluate how effectively contaminants are being captured and controlled.
Why is LEV Testing Important in Derby?
Industrial businesses across Derby and the wider Derbyshire region operate in environments where airborne contaminants are part of everyday processes.
From aerospace and rail engineering to precision manufacturing and food production, substances such as welding fume, oil mist, fine dust and diesel exhaust are a natural by-product of production, maintenance and transport activity. These are not occasional risks; they are built into how these industries function.
Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, employers are required to ensure exposure to hazardous substances is either prevented or adequately controlled. In many Derby facilities, that control depends on Local Exhaust Ventilation systems that are properly designed, thoroughly tested and consistently maintained.
What LEV Services Do We Offer in Derby?
LEV Testing
We carry out regular LEV testing across Derby and the surrounding areas to ensure systems continue to provide effective control.
Each assessment includes airflow measurement, hood performance checks and a full system review, resulting in a Thorough Examination and Test report that clearly outlines performance and any required actions.
LEV Design and Installation
LEV systems must be designed around the specific process and contaminant. With our bespoke LEV design and installation services, we ensure contaminants are captured at source, with the correct hood selection, duct sizing and fan specification to achieve effective and compliant operation.
LEV Servicing & Maintenance
While LEV systems require testing at least once every 14 months, ongoing performance depends on regular LEV servicing.
LEV Maintenance helps prevent reduced airflow, filter issues and system inefficiencies, ensuring reliability, energy efficiency and continued compliance.
Training and Consultancy
We provide on-site training and consultancy to help teams understand how their systems operate, recognise early signs of failure and maintain control between inspections. A well-informed team supports long-term compliance and system performance.
