Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) in County Antrim
Fume, dust and mist extraction for workshops, with COSHH thorough examination and testing, across County Antrim.
- From £180 + VAT per system
- By arrangement
Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) captures dust, fume, vapour or mist at the source, such as a welding bench, saw or spray booth, before workers breathe it in. We design and install LEV and arrange the thorough examination and test that COSHH requires at least every 14 months.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we work throughout County Antrim, from Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus and Ballymena. Because of the travel involved, visits here are by arrangement and travel is quoted before booking.
