Delivery is usually available around Colney Street, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Colney Street may need a week or more of continuous running.
Does this stop mould coming back in Colney Street?
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 Colney Street.
