LEV Maintenance & Servicing

Harvtec helps businesses across Cornwall maintain their Local Exhaust Ventilation equipment through agreed servicing, routine checks and defect follow-up. We plan the work around the system instructions, process and condition, with maintenance records kept useful for your team and your LEV examiner.

What Harvtec covers

Look after the equipment as a system.

The maintenance scope should reflect what the extraction serves, how it is used and what previous records show. We agree the tasks we can competently undertake and identify any specialist cleaning, hazardous-process or exposure-control work separately.

Routine condition checks

Agree an inspection checklist using the system information and maintenance needs, rather than treating every extraction system alike.

  • Hoods, accessible ducting and visible damage
  • Fan, motor and control condition
  • Existing indicators and reported changes

Servicing and maintenance tasks

Plan suitable work against the equipment instructions, consumables and access requirements.

  • Filters and consumables with suitability confirmed
  • Fan/motor maintenance and electrical defects
  • Access, isolation and contamination precautions

Prepare for examination

Help collate system information, maintenance history and outstanding defects before the competent examiner attends.

  • Available manuals and previous reports
  • Repairs or access work identified in advance
  • Actions retained until properly addressed

Keep the programme current

Record tasks, findings and follow-up against the equipment. Magrathea can hold the asset, work orders and evidence where agreed.

  • Maintenance and check history
  • Action owners and review dates
  • Changes in use referred for appropriate assessment

Practical work

Filter cartridge replacement, from real work.

A 12-cartridge reverse-jet silica-sand extractor. See the used cartridges, replacement component and fitted filters.

How the work moves

Build a maintenance routine your team can use.

Review the system and history

Start with the process, equipment details, manuals, service records and latest examination findings. Agree any information that is missing.

Plan the tasks and visits

Define frequency, competence, access, consumables and reporting. Suitable maintenance intervals follow the system and its use, not a universal service package.

Maintain, record and follow up

Carry out the agreed tasks, flag defects and record what remains open. Plan repairs or specialist work where the findings require it.

Questions

Useful answers before you enquire

How frequently should LEV be serviced?

The programme depends on the system instructions, use, contaminants, condition and examination findings. We agree maintenance and routine checks for the actual equipment; the statutory examination has its own required interval.

Can you maintain equipment even if another company examines it?

Yes, where the maintenance scope is suitable. We can work from the examiner’s findings and retain useful repair/maintenance records for their next assessment.

Can you arrange LEV Thorough Examination and Test?

Yes. Harvtec can arrange Thorough Examination and Test (TExT) through a competent LEV examiner, with a written examination report. We can coordinate preparation and agreed remedial actions. Examination is a separate scope from routine servicing or filter replacement.
