Beat damp & condensation in Broughton, Scottish Borders

Is your Broughton home too damp?
- ✓Black mould on walls, ceilings or sealant
- ✓Streaming water on the windows each morning
- ✓A persistent damp smell that won't go away
- ✓Peeling paint or damp patches on the walls

Ticking several of these in Broughton? A dehumidifier can make a real difference.
How a dehumidifier works in Broughton
Not all dehumidifiers are equal: a tiny moisture absorber won't touch a genuinely damp room in Broughton. Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with good extraction and, ideally, continuous drainage so you're not emptying the tank every few hours.

Your Broughton hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
Ventilate, fix any obvious source of water, then run a properly sized dehumidifier. Within a few days the smell and the damp ease off in Broughton.
How much does it cost to run per day?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which controls the spend. No need to leave it on full all day.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Yes — to dry out a cellar or get through a damp spell, a few days' hire is often enough and costs far less than buying.
How many days should I hire one for?
You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
A dehumidifier tackles the root: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it struggles to come back in Broughton.
