Your Asby hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?

Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much of electricity per day of use.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
If the need is short-term, hiring is the smarter move: no expensive unit sitting idle afterwards, and you get the right model for the problem in Asby straight away.
How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while drying-out works in Asby may need a week or more of continuous running.
Does this stop mould coming back in Asby?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
