LEV Repair Services
Fast, Reliable Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) Repairs Across Scotland
When your Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system stops performing as it should, it can affect workplace safety, productivity and compliance. Reduced airflow, damaged ductwork or faulty components can leave employees exposed to hazardous dust, fumes and airborne contaminants.
At A-Mac Environmental, we provide professional LEV repair services for businesses across Scotland. Our experienced engineers quickly identify faults, carry out repairs and restore your extraction system to full working order, helping you minimise downtime and maintain a safe working environment.
Signs Your LEV System May Need Repair
Many LEV faults develop gradually and are often overlooked until the system is no longer providing effective extraction.
Common warning signs include:
-
Reduced suction at extraction points
-
Visible dust or fumes escaping into the workplace
-
Unusual fan noise or vibration
-
Blocked or damaged filters
-
Air leaks from ductwork
-
Poor airflow
-
Excessive dust build-up
-
Damaged extraction arms
-
System alarms or warning indicators
-
Failed LEV Thorough Examination & Test (TExT)
If you notice any of these issues, it's important to have the system inspected before the problem becomes more serious.

Every repair is carried out to restore safe and efficient system performance.
Fault Finding and Diagnosis
Not every problem is immediately obvious.
Our engineers use their experience and specialist test equipment to identify the root cause of poor system performance.
We investigate issues such as:
-
Reduced airflow
-
Fan performance problems
-
Air leaks
-
Incorrect hood positioning
-
Blocked filters
-
Ductwork restrictions
-
Mechanical wear
-
Poor extraction efficiency
Once the fault has been identified, we'll explain the issue clearly and recommend the most practical solution.
Visual Inspection
A detailed inspection of the complete LEV system to identify wear, damage, corrosion or other issues that may affect performance.
Airflow Measurements
Using calibrated test equipment, we measure key performance indicators, including:
-
Air volume
-
Air velocity
-
Capture velocity
-
Face velocity
-
Static pressure
These measurements help confirm that the system is operating within its intended design parameters.
Repairs for All Types of LEV Systems
We repair a wide variety of extraction systems, including:
Welding Fume Extraction
Repairs to extraction arms, ductwork, fans and filtration systems.
Dust Extraction Systems
Repairs for woodworking, engineering, manufacturing and food production facilities.
Oil Mist Extraction
Repairs to extraction units serving CNC machining centres and metalworking equipment.
Vehicle Exhaust Extraction
Repairs to tailpipe extraction systems, hose reels, ductwork and extraction fans.
Solvent Vapour Extraction
Maintenance and repairs to industrial ventilation systems handling solvent vapours and airborne contaminants.
Emergency Repairs
Unexpected equipment failures can interrupt production and affect workplace safety.
Our engineers aim to respond quickly, diagnose faults efficiently and carry out repairs wherever possible to minimise downtime.
If replacement parts are required, we'll advise on the most practical and cost-effective solution.
When is Repair Better Than Replacement?
Not every fault means the entire LEV system needs replacing.
In many cases, replacing individual components such as:
-
Fans
-
Filters
-
Motors
-
Ductwork
-
Extraction arms
-
Flexible hoses
Can restore performance without the cost of installing a completely new system.
Where a full replacement would provide better long-term value, we'll explain your options honestly and recommend the most appropriate solution.
Supporting Your Business Beyond Testing
If we identify any issues during the examination, A-Mac Environmental can also provide:
-
Filter replacement
-
Ductwork repairs
-
Fan repairs
-
System upgrades
-
Performance improvements
Our aim is not only to identify problems but to help you resolve them quickly and efficiently.
Supporting COSHH Compliance
A damaged or poorly performing LEV system may no longer provide effective control of hazardous airborne contaminants.
Prompt repairs help ensure your extraction system continues to:
-
Protect employees
-
Improve workplace air quality
-
Support compliance with COSHH Regulations
-
Reduce the risk of production disruption
-
Maintain effective contaminant control
Where appropriate, we can also carry out a Thorough Examination & Test (TExT) after repairs to confirm that the system is performing correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair an LEV system installed by another company?
Yes. We regularly inspect, maintain and repair LEV systems regardless of who originally supplied or installed them.
How quickly can repairs be carried out?
The repair time depends on the nature of the fault and the availability of replacement parts. Our engineers work efficiently to minimise disruption and restore safe operation as quickly as possible.
Should I repair or replace my LEV system?
Many systems can be successfully repaired or upgraded without replacing the entire installation. We'll assess your equipment and recommend the most cost-effective option based on its condition and performance.
Can you carry out LEV testing after repairs?
Yes. If required, we can perform a Thorough Examination & Test (TExT) to confirm that your repaired system is operating effectively and providing the required level of protection.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance after repairs?
Yes. We can provide planned preventative maintenance programmes to help reduce future breakdowns and extend the life of your LEV system.
If your extraction system is no longer performing as it should, don't wait until it affects productivity or workplace safety.
