Construction & Site Work Dust Extractors — Milton Keynes
Construction & site work — Milton Keynes
V-TUF supplies M-Class and H-Class dust extraction to construction sites across Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire. MK:U university, Whitehouse and Tattenhoe residential growth zones, Stadium MK regeneration, Campbell Park commercial development, and the sustained pipeline across MK's grid square programme all generate sustained CDM-compliant dust extraction demand. Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Trust operates MKUH at Standing Way with active capital works requiring ICRA-compliant H-Class extraction in clinical areas. Milton Keynes is also home to Red Bull Racing Technology at Tilbrook and sits at the heart of the UK's Motorsport Valley corridor — construction, fit-out and maintenance at motorsport and advanced engineering facilities generate carbon fibre composite dust requiring H-Class extraction under COSHH 2002.
V-TUF regularly supplies contractors working across Milton Keynes city centre, Tilbrook, the grid squares and surrounding Buckinghamshire construction sites.

MIDI H-Class units specified for concrete cutting and masonry phases. 110V CTE is the site standard. Contractor trade account — next-day delivery to MK9 postcode.
Compliance notes for Milton Keynes construction sites
- CDM 2015 Regulation 15(2) — principal contractors must demonstrate dust control planning in the pre-construction health and safety plan.
- COSHH 2002 — RCS WEL 0.1mg/m³ over an 8-hour TWA. H-Class required for silica-generating operations.
- Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 — H-Class extraction mandatory for any work near or involving asbestos-containing materials in pre-2000 Milton Keynes buildings. The older grid squares built in the 1970s–80s contain pre-2000 residential and commercial buildings where ACMs in textured coatings, floor tiles and pipe lagging are a documented risk on refurbishment programmes.
- ICRA — Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Trust — ICRA required for all works inside MKUH at Standing Way. H-Class mandatory for Type C and D work in clinical areas.
- Carbon fibre and motorsport composites — Red Bull Racing Tilbrook and MK corridor — H-Class extraction required for all carbon fibre composite dust under COSHH 2002 at Red Bull Racing's Tilbrook campus and across the MK motorsport supply chain.
- 110V on site — all V-TUF M-Class and H-Class extractors available in 110V CTE.

Frequently asked questions
What extraction is required for construction or maintenance works at Red Bull Racing Tilbrook?
H-Class extraction (H14 HEPA, 99.995%) is required for any work involving carbon fibre composite dust at Red Bull Racing's Tilbrook campus or across the MK motorsport supply chain corridor. The MIDI H-Class (MIDIH110 / MIDIH240) with sealed filtration is the correct specification.
What extraction is required for works inside MKUH at Standing Way?
Any construction or maintenance inside Milton Keynes University Hospital requires an ICRA before starting. For Type C and D work in clinical areas H-Class extraction is mandatory. The V-TUF MIDI H-Class is the correct specification.
Do principal contractors on MK sites mandate 110V equipment?
Yes — most principal contractors across MK's major programmes mandate 110V CTE for all portable electrical equipment on site. All V-TUF M-Class and H-Class dust extractors are available in 110V site-safe specification.
