What a dehumidifier does for Greatham homes

Your Greatham hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a unit suited to cool spaces and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Greatham.
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 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 long until I see a difference in Greatham?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Greatham can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Greatham?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Greatham lose the damp they feed on.
