What the 55L actually does
Helps reduce humidity in larger damp rooms and managed commercial spaces.
The Dri-Eaz 1200 is a refrigerant industrial dehumidifier — it does not dry walls or remove mould directly. It can help lower a room’s relative humidity so moisture can move out of walls, carpet and plaster into the air, where the unit can collect it.
Bringing a damp space closer to a common comfort range may help reduce condensation, musty smells and conditions associated with mould risk. Results vary depending on temperature, airflow, room size and moisture level.
Refrigerant performance varies with room temperature. Output may reduce noticeably below ~15°C. For cold sites and demanding drying jobs, an LGR option may be more suitable depending on conditions.
Indicative drying progress
Indicative drying progress over several days.
Example only. Drying time depends on room size, temperature, airflow, moisture level and whether the source of moisture has been resolved.
Assess & start
Confirm the source is resolved, isolate the area, position the unit and check drainage where supplied.
Air may begin to clear
Humidity may start reducing if the room is warm, closed off and airflow is managed.
Materials may release moisture
Walls, carpet or plaster may continue releasing moisture into the air. Air movers can help where appropriate.
Room may feel more comfortable
Condensation and musty smells may reduce as humidity lowers, depending on conditions.
Monitor and decide
Keep monitoring humidity. For heavy moisture, cold rooms or multi-room jobs, a larger / LGR setup may be more suitable.

Drying performance depends on site conditions
Even a high-capacity dehumidifier depends on the site.
Warmth, airflow, drainage and containment all affect drying performance. The 55L unit can help, but conditions on site shape the result.
Temperature
Refrigerant output may reduce noticeably below ~15°C.
Airflow
Air movers help direct moist air past wet surfaces.
Moisture load
Larger or wetter areas extend drying time.
Containment
Closed, controlled rooms support better drying performance.
Recommended setup
Recommended drying kit for stronger drying support.
A high-capacity dehumidifier works best as part of a setup. Often paired with airflow, heat and continuous drainage where appropriate.

FAQ
FAQs about 55L industrial dehumidifier hire in London.
Answers to common questions about high-capacity industrial dehumidifier hire London, larger damp rooms, refurbishment drying support, post-leak drying and choosing the right capacity.
What is the 55L industrial dehumidifier suitable for?
The 55L Dri-Eaz 1200 is a high-capacity industrial dehumidifier hire commonly used for larger damp rooms, refurbishment drying support, post-leak drying support (where the source has been resolved), and small commercial spaces such as offices and shops. Hire-grade industrial equipment used on real drying jobs. Drying performance varies depending on temperature, airflow, room size and moisture level.
When should I choose 55L instead of a 20L or 38L unit?
The 55L is the more sensible choice when the affected area is larger than a single room, when the moisture load is heavy, or when longer runs are needed. The 20L Compact Domestic is sized for single rooms; the 38L Broughton CR40 is sized for studio flats and damp rooms; the 55L steps up for larger areas and demanding drying support. Speak to us if unsure.
Can I use it after a leak?
Yes, where the leak source has been fixed and surface water has been cleared. Place the 55L in the affected area and consider pairing with an air mover for soft furnishings. For multi-room flooding, cold sites or whole-property situations, an LGR option such as the 63L Dri-Eaz Revolution may be more suitable depending on conditions.
Can it help with plaster drying?
Yes, it is commonly used for plaster and refurbishment drying support in heated, ventilated rooms (typically above ~15°C) by helping to reduce humidity around wet plaster or paint. For cold rooms or fast contractor schedules, an LGR option may be more suitable. Drying time depends on temperature, ventilation, plaster thickness and original moisture level.
Is it suitable for commercial spaces?
Yes, for managed commercial spaces such as offices, shops, small commercial rooms or studio flats. Suitable where the area can be closed off and ventilation managed. Confirm room size, moisture load and access at booking.
Does it need a special power supply?
No. Our 55L Dri-Eaz 1200 hire is supplied as the 230V version — runs from a standard UK 230V supply. No three-phase or specialist wiring is required.
Can it drain continuously?
Yes. The Dri-Eaz 1200 has an automatic condensate pump-out feature. Connected to a sink, gully or floor drain via a drainage hose where supplied, continuous drainage can support longer running periods where set up correctly with a suitable drain.
How long does drying take?
It varies. Drying performance depends on room size, temperature, airflow, moisture level, the cause of the damp and whether the source has been resolved. We don’t guarantee specific drying times. Speak to us if you’d like advice on sizing for a deadline.
Do I need air movers as well?
Often yes for post-leak jobs and refurbishment drying. Where carpets, underlay, soft furnishings or plaster are affected, pairing the 55L with an air mover can help direct airflow to the wet surfaces. Ask us if you’d like to add one to the booking.
Is it suitable for cold or unheated spaces?
Refrigerant performance may reduce noticeably below ~15°C. For unheated garages, lock-ups, warehouses or building sites in winter, a Low-Grain Refrigerant option such as the 63L Dri-Eaz Revolution may be more suitable depending on conditions.
Do you deliver across London?
Yes. London delivery and collection are available, subject to access and availability. Free collection from our Greenford depot (UB6 7JD) is also available. Kerbside delivery is standard, with indoor placement options where access allows. Confirm at booking.

Guidance on this page is general and based on typical high-capacity industrial refrigerant dehumidifier performance (Dri-Eaz 1200, 55L). Drying time and outcomes depend on room size, temperature, airflow, moisture level, the cause of the damp and whether the source has been resolved. A dehumidifier can help reduce moisture but is not a substitute for fixing leaks, removing existing mould or addressing structural damp. For demanding drying jobs, multi-room leaks, cold spaces or any uncertainty about suitability, see our full dehumidifier range or speak to our team.
