Your Mickleton 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 Mickleton.
How much does it cost to run per day?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at a few pence to around £1 of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
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?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Mickleton can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
