Your Chalvington hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Tell us the room size and we'll match the right model for Chalvington.
How much does it cost to run per day?
Running costs stay modest: a domestic unit often runs a few hours a day thanks to the built-in humidistat, which switches it off once the target humidity is reached.
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 feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
