Your Ratby 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 Ratby.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much 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 quickly will it dry my room?
You'll often feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
Does this stop mould coming back in Ratby?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: dry the air and the black spots in Ratby lose the damp they feed on.
