Common questions in Thuxton
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a unit suited to cool spaces and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Thuxton.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
Running costs stay reasonable: a domestic unit often runs a few hours a day thanks to the built-in humidistat, which switches it off once the target humidity is reached.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
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?
You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
