Local Exhaust Ventilation Systems

Expervent (a MARCH company) specialises in the design, manufacture, installation and support of Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) and industrial ventilation systems. Delivering bespoke, compliance‑led solutions, Expervent helps customers control airborne contaminants such as dust, fumes and gases across complex, safety‑critical environments, protecting people, processes and productivity.

LEV System Design & Engineering

Every LEV system is engineered around the specific risks, processes and constraints of the site it serves. Expervent delivers bespoke designs that go beyond standard solutions to ensure effective control of airborne contaminants in demanding industrial environments.

  • Site‑specific LEV design and system engineering
  • Detailed risk assessment and process analysis
  • Tailored solutions for complex layouts and processes
  • Systems designed to meet COSHH and DSEAR requirements
  • Focus on long‑term performance and compliance

In‑house Manufacture & Fabrication

LEV systems are manufactured in‑house to ensure quality, control and consistency from design through to installation. This capability allows Expervent to deliver highly customised systems and respond quickly to changing project needs.

  • Manufacture of bespoke LEV components and systems
  • Quality‑controlled fabrication to specification
  • Flexible manufacturing for one‑off and multi‑system projects
  • Integration of fans, ductwork, filtration and capture hoods
  • Reduced reliance on off‑the‑shelf solutions

Installation & Commissioning

Installation is delivered by experienced engineers accustomed to working on live, operational sites. Systems are installed, tested and commissioned to ensure they perform as designed and meet regulatory expectations from day one.

  • Installation on live and operational sites
  • Phased delivery to minimise disruption
  • Full system testing and commissioning
  • Commissioning reports aligned to HSE guidance
  • Handover documentation to support regulatory compliance
