Your Lydford hire questions
What size dehumidifier do I need in Lydford?
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 Lydford.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
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 it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Delivery is usually available around Lydford, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while drying-out works in Lydford may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
