TCS joined Envair Technology in 2020 and united with Envair. The integration of these three trusted brands is now complete, with all TCS products and services now continuing under the Envair Technology brand.

Established in 2004, TCS (Total Containment Solutions) has grown to become the UK's leading supplier of fume cupboards for industrial and educational laboratories.

Thanks to our in-house manufacturing capabilities, you can specify bespoke designs to match the exact requirements of your facility. Want to change the posts of your cabinet to create more working space, or add transfer hatches? No problem.

By employing our own teams to handle cutting, punching, welding and powder coating, as well as fabricators, electricians and plumbers, we remain in full control of quality standards, costs and lead times, leading to some of the highest levels of customer satisfaction in the industry.

Client Testimonials

“They fill in the gaps at the scoping stage - they will ask the right questions in a very practical manner. To be honest up front and ask, rather than pick it up as a variation or change later on is quite refreshing, there are not many companies that do that.”

Head of Facilities

Oxford University

“TCS are very good at making sure that the scientists get a product that works well for them but at the same time one that works from a facilities point of view.”

Associate Director

Astex Therapeutics

“They listen to the voice of the customer and come up with good solutions. The basic product is always good and it is easy to be adapted and customised.”
