Your Hillside 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 Hillside.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
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.
Can you deliver to Hillside?
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 quickly will it dry my room?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Hillside can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Hillside?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Hillside stop spreading.
