How dehumidifiers tackle damp in Chalk
Not all dehumidifiers are equal: a tiny moisture absorber won't touch a genuinely damp room in Chalk. Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with good extraction and, ideally, an auto-drain hose so you're not emptying the tank every few hours.

Common questions in Chalk
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a compressor model rated for low temperatures and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Chalk.
How much does it cost to run per day?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. 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 long until I see a difference in Chalk?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Chalk can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
