How a dehumidifier works in Poldean

Your Poldean 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 Poldean.
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 it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Delivery is usually available around Poldean, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Poldean?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Poldean can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
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.
