Your Ightham 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 Ightham.
How much does it cost to run per day?
Running costs stay modest: 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 hiring worth it for a homeowner?
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 Ightham straight away.
How long until I see a difference in Ightham?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Ightham can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Ightham lose the damp they feed on.
