Dust control equipment hire - house renovation

I have been looking at the ducted fans - I was thinking of a 12" 3600m3/hr. which seems pretty powerful. what did you use?
Basically, the rooms are small and I only used a large desk fan, that I ducted out of the window.
But as @opps has said, there are methods builders can use to avoid much of the dust being created in the first place. Don't get carried away with extraction fans, when a false ceiling, or a thorough vacuum from above, will get rid of a century's worth of coal dust from the attic first!
It's better to ge rid of it at source, than to rely on extraction when it's already permeated every orifice!

The fan I used for dust control was a 12in unit recovered from the heat exchanger in a redundant climatically control test room.

This is a very similar one

Is there any option to be out of the house while the work is going on? Rent a flat? Stay at a friends? Go on holiday? Park a caravan on your drive?
It would get you away from the dust and let the guys crack on with the work........
 
I would hire a ducted fan for the area they are working in, then maybe get a domestic air purifier for "dust free" area

My wife is very sensitive to dust, so I put my air purifier just inside the door of the bedroom, so if any dust gets through, it gets sucked up straight away. This seems to work well

Thanks, that's a really good idea. Someone else recommended them but I thought they were a bit of a con. Any you recommend ? Do you just get one on Amazon or does it have to be a HEPA air filter?

No chance unfortunately. I would if I could.
 
Why do you think they are a con?

A good one isn't cheap, but you can get a hepa H13 one for £100 or so, but a decent one is £2-300

We got a blueair one that is excellent

Thanks. I'll have a look.

I've never used one, just thought the stuff for domestic use more for show and you couldn't get the benefit without some sort of industrial / commercial quality expense.
