Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) in County Down
Fume, dust and mist extraction for workshops, with COSHH thorough examination and testing, across County Down.
- From £180 + VAT per system

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.
We carry out local exhaust ventilation (LEV) across County Down, including Bangor, Castlereagh, Newtownards, Newry and Banbridge. Prices use Northern Ireland rates. Because of the travel involved, visits here are by arrangement and travel is quoted before booking.
