Your Fingask 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 a few pence to around £1 of electricity per day of use.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Fingask, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Fingask?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while a flooded space in Fingask may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
