Common questions in Purley
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
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 Purley.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
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 Purley?
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?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while drying-out works in Purley may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
A dehumidifier tackles the root: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it won't keep returning in Purley.
