Construction & Site Work Dust Extractors — Swindon
Construction & site work — Swindon
V-TUF supplies M-Class and H-Class dust extraction to construction sites across Swindon and Wiltshire. The Kimmerfields regeneration, Central Swindon North masterplan, Panattoni Swindon and Symmetry Park Swindon logistics parks on the former Honda South Marston site, New College Swindon campus redevelopment, and the sustained residential growth programme across Wichelstowe, Tadpole Garden Village and the wider Swindon growth area all generate sustained CDM-compliant dust extraction demand. Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust operates the Great Western Hospital on Marlborough Road with active capital works requiring ICRA-compliant H-Class extraction in clinical areas.
V-TUF regularly supplies contractors working across Swindon town centre, South Marston, Kimmerfields and surrounding Wiltshire construction sites.

Frequently asked questions
What extraction is required for construction inside the Great Western Hospital?
All construction and maintenance inside GWH at Marlborough Road requires an ICRA before starting. For Type C and D work in clinical areas H-Class extraction is mandatory. The MIDI H-Class (MIDIH110 / MIDIH240) with sealed filtration and HEPA-certified disposal bags is the correct specification.
Is M-Class or H-Class required on the Panattoni Swindon logistics park construction?
M-Class is the minimum for general construction dust across the logistics facility builds. H-Class is required wherever silica is generated — concrete cutting, grinding or drilling of masonry. On large-span concrete frame construction of the scale at Panattoni and Symmetry Park, H-Class should be specified in the CDM dust management plan for all masonry and concrete cutting phases.

Servicing, spares and ongoing support
All V-TUF M-Class and H-Class extractors supported with UK-based spare parts and full servicing. HEPA cartridges and certified disposal bags held for ICRA-compliant use across the Great Western Hospital estate.
Dust generated by cutting, grinding and drilling on Swindon construction sites must be controlled at source under COSHH 2002. See COSHH Regulations guidance → and M-Class or H-Class extraction guidance → for a full breakdown of compliant dust control requirements.
