Air Purifier Hire

Hire an industrial air cleaner from Hirelink to reduce airborne dust, silica particles, and fine particulates in workshops, construction sites, and enclosed work areas. Our air cleaners draw contaminated air through a multi-stage filtration system incorporating a HEPA H13 filter, trapping hazardous particles down to 0.3 microns, and recirculate clean air back into the space. This is the right equipment when you need to manage air quality in a room or enclosed area rather than exhaust air outside. We deliver across Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Aldridge, and the wider Midlands from our four local depots.

The Reason

Why Choose Hirelink for Air Cleaner Hire in the Midlands?

Hirelink operates from Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield, Aldridge, and near Birmingham Airport. You get air cleaner hire from a local team that can deliver quickly to construction sites, renovation jobs, and industrial workspaces across the West Midlands and Staffordshire.

HEPA H13 is a certified filter class under EN 1822. It captures at least 99.95% of particles at the most penetrating particle size — typically 0.1 to 0.3 microns. This covers silica dust, fine wood dust, gypsum, plaster, mould spores, and the fine respirable fraction of construction dust that causes serious long-term lung damage. The filter class is not a marketing claim — it is an independently tested standard with individual test protocols per filter.

Industrial air cleaners in the hire fleet are designed for harsh site conditions — stainless-steel housings, robust chassis, variable speed fans, and filter indication lamps that tell you when the filter needs changing. These are not domestic air purifiers. They are portable industrial units that can be placed in workshops, renovation areas, and enclosed site spaces and run continuously.

An air cleaner is a room air filtration device. It draws air from the space, filters it, and returns it clean. It works best as a complement to source extraction — dust extraction connected directly to tools — rather than a substitute for it. Together, source extraction and a room air cleaner provide a comprehensive approach to dust control that meets COSHH requirements for high-dust environments.

When connected to an exhaust hose, most industrial air cleaners in the hire range can be used to create negative pressure in a sealed or semi-sealed room. This is used in abatement, decontamination, and refurbishment work where containing airborne contamination within a defined space is essential.

Book by the day or the week. Short renovation jobs typically require one to several days. Longer construction programmes, ongoing industrial operations, or strip-out projects benefit from weekly hire at significantly better value.

The Return

Air Cleaner Hire — What You Get

An industrial air cleaner is a recirculating filtration unit. It draws air from the room through an inlet, passes it through a pre-filter that catches larger particles, then through a HEPA H13 filter that captures fine and hazardous particles down to 0.3 microns, and discharges the cleaned air back into the space through an upward-facing exhaust. Because the exhaust faces upward rather than toward the floor, it does not disturb settled dust and stir it back into suspension. The fan runs continuously, cycling the room air through the filter at a rate determined by the unit’s airflow capacity and the size of the space.

The number of air changes per hour is the key performance metric for sizing an air cleaner to a space. A higher-capacity unit processes more air per hour and achieves more complete air changes. As a general guide, construction and renovation work typically targets six to eight air changes per hour to maintain acceptable dust levels. Divide the room volume in cubic metres by the unit’s airflow rating to calculate the air changes per hour. A 500m³/h unit in a 100m³ room delivers five air changes per hour — adequate for light dust. A 1,850m³/h unit in the same space delivers over eighteen air changes per hour, which suits heavy demolition or strip-out work.

The applications for hired air cleaners on construction sites span the full range of renovation and building activity. Cutting, grinding, and sanding produce fine respirable dust that settles slowly and lingers in the air long after the work stops. Demolition and strip-out releases plaster, gypsum, and concrete particulates. Timber work creates wood dust from both hardwoods and softwoods. Any enclosed work on older properties risks disturbing legacy materials including lead paint dust. In all of these scenarios, a HEPA H13 air cleaner reducing the ambient particle concentration during and after the work reduces the respiratory risk to workers and others in or near the building.

Silica dust deserves particular mention. Silica is a component of concrete, mortar, stone, and sand-cement renders. When cut, ground, or broken, these materials release respirable crystalline silica (RCS) — very fine particles that penetrate deep into the lungs and cause silicosis, an irreversible and potentially fatal lung disease. The HSE has published a Construction Dust Partnership toolkit and Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs) for RCS. Achieving compliance with the WEL for RCS requires source control as the primary measure, with a room air cleaner providing an important secondary layer of protection in enclosed spaces.

The Difference

Air Cleaner vs Fume Extractor — What Is the Difference?

These two products are often confused but they work differently and suit different applications.

Air cleaner (air scrubber)

A recirculating filtration unit. Draws room air through HEPA filters and returns clean air to the same space. Suited to enclosed areas where you need to reduce ambient particle concentrations across a room — renovation work, construction sites, workshops, and bakeries where fine dust is the primary hazard. Does not exhaust air outside.

Fume extractor (ducted extraction fan)

A directional fan connected to flexible ducting that draws contaminated air away from the source and exhausts it to the outside. Suited to welding fumes, grinding sparks, and spray mist at a specific point — positioned close to the source and directed out through a door or window. Does not filter and recirculate air.

The Process

How to Hire an Air Cleaner from Hirelink

Size the Unit for Your Space

Calculate the volume of the space in cubic metres (length x width x height). Divide by the unit’s airflow rating to establish air changes per hour. Aim for at least six air changes per hour for renovation or light construction dust. For heavy cutting, grinding, or demolition in an enclosed space, target higher. Call the team if you want help selecting the right unit.

Book and Arrange Delivery

Reserve your unit online or by phone and confirm your delivery date and site address. Confirm whether you need replacement filters at the same time.

Position and Run

Place the unit in the room with the exhaust pointing upward and the inlet unobstructed. Switch on and set the fan speed to suit the level of activity. Run continuously during and after dusty work to allow the room air to cycle through the filter fully. Check the filter indicator lamp and replace the filter when indicated.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Cleaner Hire

An industrial air cleaner is a high-capacity recirculating filtration unit designed for site conditions — robust housing, HEPA H13 filtration, variable speed fans, and airflow rates measured in hundreds of cubic metres per hour. A domestic air purifier is designed for home use, typically has lower airflow capacity, and is not built for dusty construction environments. The industrial units in the hire fleet are specifically suited to construction, renovation, and industrial dust management.

Divide the room volume in cubic metres by the unit’s airflow rating to calculate air changes per hour. For light renovation dust, aim for six changes per hour. For heavy cutting, grinding, or strip-out work, aim for higher. As an example: a room measuring 10m x 5m x 3m has a volume of 150m³. A unit with 500m³/h airflow delivers approximately three air changes per hour — adequate for light dust. A 1,850m³/h unit delivers over twelve. Call the Hirelink team if you want help sizing the unit for your job.

HEPA H13 captures at least 99.95% of particles at 0.3 microns. This includes respirable crystalline silica (RCS) from concrete and masonry, fine wood dust from both softwoods and hardwoods, gypsum and plaster dust, mould spores, and the fine respirable fraction of general construction dust. It also captures airborne bacteria and virus-laden particles at this size range.

A room air cleaner is a control measure within a COSHH risk assessment but it is not sufficient on its own for high-dust tasks such as cutting concrete or stone. HSE guidance requires a hierarchy of controls with source extraction as the primary measure — dust extraction connected to the tool. A room air cleaner provides an important secondary layer of protection in enclosed spaces. Confirm your specific COSHH requirements with your employer or health and safety advisor.

An air cleaner draws room air through HEPA filters and recirculates cleaned air back into the space — it does not exhaust air outside. A fume extractor uses a ducted fan to draw air from a specific point and exhaust it externally. For construction dust in an enclosed room, use an air cleaner. For welding fumes, grinding sparks, or spray mist at a specific work point, use a fume extractor with ducting to the outside. Hirelink stocks both.
