Your Hartlip hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a compressor model rated for low temperatures and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Hartlip.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
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 it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
If the need is short-term, hiring is the smarter move: no expensive unit sitting idle afterwards, and you get the right model for the problem in Hartlip straight away.

You'll often feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
