Take Control of Damp: The Professional Guide to Dehumidifier Hire

Excess moisture is the enemy of any building project. Whether it’s the result of a flood, a leak, or essential ‘wet trades’ like plastering and screeding, dampness can lead to project delays, mould growth, and long-term structural problems. While a small domestic dehumidifier might help with minor condensation, for serious drying power you need a professional-grade building dryer.

At Breckland Plant Hire, we supply high-performance industrial dehumidifiers across Norfolk that are designed to actively and rapidly remove moisture from the air and building materials, putting you back in control of your environment.

Why Hire a Professional Building Dryer?

The difference between a domestic dehumidifier and a professional hire unit is immense.

• Sheer Extraction Power: A typical domestic unit might extract 10-20 litres of water per day. Our industrial machines are workhorses capable of extracting over 60 litres per 24 hours. This huge difference in performance means drying times are slashed from weeks to days.
• Continuous Unattended Operation: This is the most critical feature for serious drying. While our units have a large internal water tank with an auto-shutoff, they also feature a continuous drainage outlet. Simply connect the supplied hose to a low-level drain, and the machine can run 24/7 without ever needing to be emptied.
• Robust, Site-Ready Design: Our building dryers are built with tough steel casings and large, durable wheels, designed to withstand the rigours of a construction site and be easily moved into position.
• Optimised for UK Conditions: Professional units feature an automatic ‘hot gas’ defrost system. In the cooler temperatures common in the UK, the cooling coils on a dehumidifier can ice up, stopping it from working. Our machines automatically detect this and defrost themselves, ensuring they keep working efficiently even when it’s not warm.

Common Applications for Dehumidifier Hire in Norfolk

Our building dryers are essential tools for a wide range of situations.

• Flood and Water Damage Restoration: The number one emergency use. After a leak or flood, a building dryer is vital for removing moisture from carpets, plasterboard, timber, and sub-floors to prevent lasting damage and mould.
• Drying Wet Trades: Invaluable on new builds and renovations across Norfolk. They dramatically speed up the drying time of new plaster, concrete screeds, and paint, allowing follow-on trades to start work sooner and keeping the project on schedule.
• Damp Property Management: Ideal for drying out damp basements, cellars, or properties that have been left vacant, before starting remedial or decorative work.
• Commercial and Agricultural Use: Protecting valuable stock, documents, or equipment from moisture damage in workshops, archives, or storage units.

Tips for Effective Drying

1. Seal the Area: For best results, close all external windows and doors in the room you are drying.
2. Position Centrally: Place the dehumidifier in the middle of the room to allow for the best possible air circulation.
3. Use a Fan: To accelerate the process, use a simple floor fan to blow dry air across wet surfaces like walls or floors. This helps the moisture evaporate into the air, where the dehumidifier can then capture it.
4. Use Continuous Drainage: Whenever possible, use the hose outlet to a drain. This ‘set and forget’ method is the most effective way to dry a space.
