Your Ettrick hire questions
What size dehumidifier do I need in Ettrick?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a unit suited to cool spaces and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Ettrick.
Will it push my electricity bill up?
Running costs stay modest: a domestic unit often runs a few hours a day thanks to the built-in humidistat, which switches it off once the target humidity is reached.
Can you deliver to Ettrick?
Yes — to dry out a cellar or get through a damp spell, a few days' hire is often enough and costs far less than buying.
How long until I see a difference in Ettrick?

Does this stop mould coming back in Ettrick?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: dry the air and the black spots in Ettrick stop spreading.
