Your Glenlochar hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
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 Glenlochar.
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 hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Glenlochar, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How quickly will it dry my room?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Glenlochar can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
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.
