Your Dawlish hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?

With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.
Can you deliver to Dawlish?

Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
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.
