Construction & Site Work Dust Extractors — Nottingham
Construction & site work — Nottingham
V-TUF supplies M-Class and H-Class dust extraction to construction sites across Nottingham and the East Midlands. The Broad Marsh regeneration, Island Quarter waterfront development, Nottingham Station Gateway, and sustained capital investment from Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham all generate sustained CDM-compliant dust extraction demand. Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust operates the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital — both with active capital works programmes requiring ICRA-compliant H-Class extraction in clinical areas.
V-TUF regularly supplies contractors working across Nottingham city centre, Broad Marsh, the Island Quarter and surrounding Nottinghamshire construction sites.

Frequently asked questions
What extraction is required for works inside the Queen's Medical Centre?
All construction and maintenance inside the QMC or Nottingham City 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 Nottingham city centre projects mandate 110V?
Yes — most principal contractors on Nottingham's major regeneration programmes mandate 110V CTE. All V-TUF M-Class and H-Class extractors are available in 110V site-safe specification.
