Common questions in Woodford
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 Woodford.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
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 it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Delivery is usually available around Woodford, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while drying-out works in Woodford may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
