Your Yeovil hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
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 Yeovil.
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 Yeovil, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Yeovil?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Yeovil may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
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.
