Need wet carpets, floors or walls dry in a hurry around Cottingham? Our air movers & drying fans push a steady sheet of air across the damp, shifting moisture three to five times faster than leaving it to nature. Hire starts from £12 a day, and we deliver and collect right across HU16.
An air mover — sometimes called a carpet blower — sits low and throws air sideways under and over wet flooring. That moving air lifts moisture off the surface so it can be carried away, which is exactly what you want after a leak, a burst, or a wash-down. They also earn their keep when you're decorating, helping paint and plaster go off, or simply clearing stale air through a room. For the full spec, see our air mover hire details.
Cottingham throws up a particular sort of drying job. With the University of Hull a short hop down the road, the village is thick with student lets and HMOs, and the turnaround between tenancies is tight. When a flat changes hands in the summer and the carpets have been cleaned — or worse, a kitchen or bathroom has let go — a couple of air movers running overnight can have the place ready to re-let rather than sitting empty losing rent. Landlords and letting agents along Hallgate, King Street and the streets off Northgate hire from us for exactly that quick, no-fuss turnaround.
Then there are Cottingham's older properties. The village has a good stock of period homes with solid floors, lath-and-plaster and the odd cellar, and these hold damp longer than a modern build. Air movers paired with a dehumidifier are the standard answer here — the fan keeps the air moving while the dehumidifier pulls the moisture out of it. You can add dehumidifiers to your order so the two work together, which is the proper way to dry a room rather than just stirring the air about. If you've had a leak, our guide to drying after a leak walks through the order of doing things.
Booking is phone-first — give us a ring, tell us the room and how wet it is, and we'll tell you straight how many movers you need and what it'll cost. No app, no faff. Same-day delivery is usually no bother across Cottingham and the surrounding HU16 patch, and we collect when you're done. Cottingham is also covered on our local hub for equipment hire in Cottingham if you need other kit alongside.
