Your Siefton hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
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 Siefton.
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 long until I see a difference in Siefton?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Siefton can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
A dehumidifier tackles the root: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it struggles to come back in Siefton.
