Your Torpoint hire questions

With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Torpoint, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How many days should I hire one for?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Torpoint can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
