Your Grafton 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. Give us the rough square metres and we'll match the right model for Grafton.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
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 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?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Grafton may need a week or more of continuous running.
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.
