Yes. Phased drying is common in occupied buildings, retail units and offices where whole-site closure is not practical.

How noisy is drying equipment?

Dehumidifiers and air movers produce a continuous operating noise. Where noise is a concern we can discuss equipment placement, timing and any adjustments that are reasonable to make.

Does the equipment need continuous power?

Yes. Drying equipment runs continuously through the programme. We agree power arrangements at the assessment stage.

How long will drying take?

Drying duration depends on the building, materials, severity of the incident and environmental conditions. We do not quote a fixed duration in advance and update you as the programme progresses.

Can equipment be moved?

Equipment can be repositioned during monitoring visits where drying progress or site requirements make it appropriate.

Can you provide progress information?

Yes. Progress information, photographs and monitoring records can be shared at intervals agreed with the site contact.

Can you work with our insurer?

Yes. Where an insurance claim is in place we can communicate with the insurer, loss adjuster or claims handler alongside the customer.
