Noise at work assessments across Yorkshire & the North East

Sheffield's steel and precision engineering heritage, the process plants of Teesside, Leeds and Newcastle's manufacturing base, and the quarries of the Yorkshire Dales.

The industries that actually drive noise risk here

Steel & metal engineeringForging, machining and finishing across Sheffield's engineering base — some of the most consistently high noise readings we take anywhere in the country.
Chemicals & processProcess and chemical plant on Teesside, where continuous-running pumps and compressors are the dominant noise source rather than any single machine.
Quarrying & mineralsLimestone quarrying and stone processing across the Yorkshire Dales and the Pennines.
ManufacturingGeneral manufacturing across Leeds, Newcastle and the wider region, from light engineering to food production.

What a real assessment tends to find

Precision machining is deceptive — it doesn't sound as dramatic as a forge, but the exposure over a full shift often tells a different story. See a real example →

How we cover the region

Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle and Teesside are all sites we visit, scheduled in batches given the distance from our Bournemouth base to keep travel proportionate to the job. We also assess sites across the rest of the UK.

Common questions

You're based on the south coast — do you really cover Yorkshire and the North East?

Yes — we assess sites across the whole of the UK, Yorkshire and the North East included. Given the distance from our Bournemouth base, we typically schedule visits in batches, so it's worth asking about timing if yours is time-sensitive.

Our site has had the same noise levels for years — is there any point reassessing?

Yes. Machinery wears, gets replaced or gets used differently over time, and the regulations expect a fresh look periodically regardless — that's exactly what the 4-Year Care Plan is built around.

Do you assess quarries and outdoor sites, not just factory floors?

Yes — outdoor and mixed indoor/outdoor sites are assessed the same way, with the same action-value thresholds; the methodology adapts to the site, not the other way round.

What does it cost?

From £895 + VAT per year, fixed for four years. The 60-second check gives an instant guide.
