Your Lethenty hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
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 Lethenty.
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 Lethenty?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Lethenty can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Lethenty?
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.
