UK growing life sciences industry needs ultra clean air

Poor air quality can affect production and manufacturing processes as well as being detrimental to staff wellbeing. Poorly maintained ventilation systems can also pose a significant fire safety risk.

Our ventilation services are designed to keep your business operating safely and effectively. From an initial air hygiene survey and risk assessment of the ventilation systems we can assess what planned maintenance or remedial work is needed to ensure a building’s indoor air environment is clean and compliant with health and safety regulations.

In addition to general ventilation system services, we have experienced and qualified LEV examiners able to undertake the examination and testing of your local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems. We can offer your facilities management team the following services:
- Ventilation system hygiene surveys and risk assessments
- Fire damper inspection and testing
- Fire damper replacement and remedial works
- AHU maintenance
- Ventilation and process air duct cleaning
- Kitchen extract monitoring and cleaning
- Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) examination and testing
Where indoor air needs to be assessed for comfort or health and safety reasons one of our surveyors can conduct an Indoor Air Quality survey. We can also outline how to protect staff and building occupants from exposure to dust, fumes, or noise by undertaking an Occupational Hygiene Assessment.
