Delivering compliant LEV testing, system design and ventilation solutions across Gloucester’s industrial and manufacturing sectors.
HOW WE CAN HELP WITH LEV
LEV Testing and Ventilation Services in Gloucester
Industrial businesses across Gloucester city and Gloucestershire county operate in environments where airborne contaminants are part of daily operations.
Industrial businesses across Gloucester operate in environments where airborne contaminants are part of daily operations. Welding fumes, wood dust, metalworking fluids, diesel exhaust and process emissions are predictable by-products of production, maintenance and transport activity.
Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, employers must ensure exposure to hazardous substances is either prevented or adequately controlled. In many Gloucester workshops and production facilities, that control depends on properly designed, tested and maintained Local Exhaust Ventilation systems.
Why Choose Vent-Tech in Gloucester?
Local Industrial Understanding
Gloucester’s industrial landscape includes engineering workshops, manufacturing facilities, vehicle depots and food production units operating across established estates and mixed commercial zones.
We understand the operational pressures these environments face. Systems must perform during active production, not just during inspection. Our approach is practical, site-led and focused on measurable control rather than generic extraction solutions.

Certified Professionals
All testing is carried out by BOHS P601 qualified engineers, ensuring competence and consistency in line with UK standards for LEV examination.
We do not rely on template reports or visual checks alone. Performance is verified through measured airflow, pressure and system condition assessment.

LEV Design and Installation
LEV installations or system upgrades across Gloucestershire must be designed around the specific contaminant and process.
Our LEV design services in Gloucester and surrounding areas focus on:
- Capture at source
- Correct hood positioning
- Appropriate duct sizing
- Fan selection based on required airflow
- Effective discharge positioning
The objective is efficient control, not cosmetic airflow.

Routine servicing across Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury reduces the likelihood of:
- Reduced airflow
- Filter blockage
- Fan inefficiency
- Energy wastage
- Unexpected system failure
Maintenance ensures performance remains consistent between statutory tests.
