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.
Can you deliver to Hill End?
Delivery is usually available around Hill End, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Hill End?
You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually a few days upwards.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
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.
