Common questions in Colpy
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Give us the rough square metres and we'll match the right model for Colpy.
How much does it cost to run per day?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at a few pence to around £1 of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Colpy, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How many days should I hire one for?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Colpy can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Colpy?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
