Your Carsegowan hire questions

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?
Delivery is usually available around Carsegowan, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.

Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Carsegowan can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
