Your Gatehouse hire questions

How much does it cost to run per day?
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?
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 Gatehouse?
You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Gatehouse lose the damp they feed on.
