Construction & Site Work Dust Extractors — Hull
Construction & site work — Hull
V-TUF supplies M-Class and H-Class dust extraction to construction sites across Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Albion Square regeneration, Fruit Market creative quarter expansion, University of Hull campus investment and the sustained residential programme across Bransholme, Kingswood and the wider East Riding all generate sustained CDM-compliant dust extraction demand. Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust operates the Royal Hull Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital at Cottingham — both with active capital works programmes requiring ICRA-compliant H-Class extraction in clinical areas.
V-TUF regularly supplies contractors working across Hull city centre, Albion Square, the Fruit Market and surrounding East Riding construction sites.

Frequently asked questions
What extraction is required for works inside Hull University Teaching Hospitals?
All construction and maintenance inside the Royal Hull Infirmary or Castle Hill Hospital requires an ICRA before starting. For Type C and D work in clinical areas H-Class extraction is mandatory. The MIDI H-Class with sealed filtration and HEPA-certified disposal bags is the correct specification.
Do principal contractors on Hull city centre projects mandate 110V?
Yes — most principal contractors on Hull's major commercial and regeneration programmes mandate 110V CTE. All V-TUF M-Class and H-Class extractors are available in 110V site-safe specification.
Is H-Class required on the Albion Square development?
H-Class is required wherever cutting, grinding or drilling of brick, concrete or masonry is taking place. On a mixed-use regeneration programme like Albion Square involving demolition of existing structures, H-Class should be specified across all masonry and demolition phases.
