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

It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at a few pence to around £1 of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?

How many days should I hire one for?
You'll often feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.
Does this stop mould coming back in Daccombe?
