LEV Maintenance Services
Professional Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Maintenance Across Scotland
A Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system is only effective if it is properly maintained. Over time, filters can become clogged, ductwork can deteriorate, fans can wear out, and system performance can gradually decline. Without regular maintenance, your LEV system may no longer provide the level of protection it was designed to deliver.
At A-Mac Environmental, we provide professional LEV maintenance services for businesses across Scotland. Our experienced engineers help keep extraction systems operating safely, efficiently and reliably, protecting your workforce while supporting compliance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations.
Why is LEV Maintenance Important?
Routine maintenance helps ensure your LEV system continues to:
-
Capture hazardous airborne contaminants effectively
-
Maintain the correct airflow
-
Protect employee health
-
Improve workplace air quality
-
Reduce unexpected breakdowns
-
Extend equipment life
-
Improve energy efficiency
-
Support compliance with COSHH Regulations
Small issues can quickly become costly repairs if they are left unattended. Regular maintenance helps identify problems early, reducing downtime and avoiding unnecessary disruption to your business.

LEV Systems We Maintain
Our engineers maintain a wide variety of extraction systems, including:
Whether you have a single extraction arm or a large centralised LEV system, we can provide ongoing support.
Common Problems We Identify
During maintenance visits, we regularly identify issues such as:
-
Blocked filters
-
Damaged ductwork
-
Air leaks
-
Worn fan bearings
-
Loose drive belts
-
Reduced airflow
-
Damaged extraction arms
-
Incorrect hood positioning
-
Build-up of dust and debris
-
General wear and tear
Addressing these issues early helps maintain effective extraction and reduces the likelihood of unexpected failures.
Supporting Your COSHH Responsibilities
Employers have a legal duty under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations to ensure engineering controls are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.
Routine maintenance plays an important role in meeting these responsibilities and helps ensure your LEV system continues to protect employees from hazardous airborne contaminants.
Maintenance and LEV Testing
Maintenance and Thorough Examination & Test (TExT) are closely linked but serve different purposes.
Routine maintenance keeps your system operating efficiently throughout the year.
A Thorough Examination & Test provides a formal assessment of the system's performance and is generally required at least every 14 months.
Combining regular maintenance with scheduled testing helps maximise system performance and minimise unexpected failures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should an LEV system be maintained?
The ideal maintenance schedule depends on the type of system, how often it is used and the contaminants being extracted. Many businesses benefit from regular planned maintenance throughout the year, in addition to their statutory Thorough Examination & Test.
Does maintenance replace LEV testing?
No. Maintenance helps keep your system operating efficiently, while a Thorough Examination & Test (TExT) is a formal inspection carried out by a competent person to assess overall performance and compliance.
Can you maintain systems installed by another company?
Yes. We maintain, service and repair many LEV systems regardless of who originally designed or installed them.
What happens if you find a fault?
If we identify any issues during a maintenance visit, we'll explain the problem, recommend the most appropriate solution and, where possible, carry out repairs to restore system performance.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We provide tailored planned preventative maintenance programmes designed around your equipment, operating hours and production requirements.
Regular maintenance is one of the best ways to protect your investment and ensure your LEV system continues to perform effectively.
