What a dehumidifier does for Lidgate homes

Your Lidgate hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
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 Lidgate.
How much does it cost to run per day?
Running costs stay reasonable: 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.
Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
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 Lidgate?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within a few days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Lidgate can take a week or two. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Does this stop mould coming back in Lidgate?
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.
