Your Laughton hire questions

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.

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 many days should I hire one for?

It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: dry the air and the black spots in Laughton stop spreading.
