Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) in Shropshire
Fume, dust and mist extraction for workshops, with COSHH thorough examination and testing, across Shropshire.
- From £195 + VAT per system
- Charged visit, price agreed first
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.
Across Shropshire the job is priced the same way wherever you are: what is fitted, how long it takes and how far we travel. Towns we cover include Loughton, Wellington, Oswestry, Ryton and Hadley.

What the work involves
Under the COSHH Regulations, employers using LEV to control exposure must keep it maintained and have it thoroughly examined and tested, at least every 14 months under COSHH regulation 9 (more often for some processes), with records kept for at least five years. HSE guidance HSG258 sets out how LEV should be designed, commissioned and tested. We install extraction arms, hoods, booths, ductwork and fans, set them up to the capture velocities the process needs, and provide commissioning information and user checks so operators know the system is working day to day.
Fume extraction arms
Articulated arms for welding and soldering benches.
Dust extraction
Woodworking, cutting and grinding extraction with filtration.
Booths and hoods
Enclosing hoods and spray or mixing booths.
