Frequently asked questions

Does V-TUF deliver to Plymouth and the wider Devon area?

Yes — V-TUF holds stock of all machines at its UK warehouse with next-day delivery available to Plymouth and Devon postcodes on stocked items. The PL postcode area is fully covered. Contact 01522 787978 to confirm availability before ordering.

What dust extraction is required for construction works at Devonport Royal Dockyard or Derriford Hospital?

Works inside HMNB Devonport follow MoD and Babcock site-specific CDM requirements — H-Class extraction is mandated for silica-generating operations. Works inside University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust at Derriford Hospital require an ICRA before starting, with H-Class extraction mandatory for Type C and D work in clinical areas. The V-TUF MIDI H-Class (MIDIH110 / MIDIH240) is the correct specification for both environments.
