Your Portwrinkle hire questions
What size dehumidifier do I need in Portwrinkle?
Go for a compressor (refrigerant) unit with a good extraction rate and, if possible, continuous drainage. Tell us the room size and we'll match the right model for Portwrinkle.
How much does it cost to run per day?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.
Can you deliver to Portwrinkle?

How many days should I hire one for?
You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
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.
