The idea is simple: the unit draws in damp air, the moisture condenses and collects in a tank (or drains away), and drier air is pushed back into the room. For a cellar or cold room in Hanley, you'll want a model rated to work at lower temperatures and matched to the volume you're drying.

Your Hanley 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. Tell us the room size and we'll match the right model for Hanley.
How much does it cost to run per day?
Running costs stay reasonable: a domestic unit often runs a few hours a day thanks to the built-in humidistat, which switches it off once the target humidity is reached.
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?
You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
Does this stop mould coming back in Hanley?
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.
