Your Windley hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?

How much does it cost to run per day?
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.

If the need is short-term, hiring is the smarter move: no expensive unit sitting idle afterwards, and you get the right model for the problem in Windley straight away.
How many days should I hire one for?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Windley can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
A dehumidifier tackles the cause: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it won't keep returning in Windley.
