Your Lyth hire questions
Which dehumidifier should I hire for damp and mould?
Ventilate, fix any obvious source of water, then run a properly sized dehumidifier. Within a few days the smell and the damp ease off in Lyth.
How much does it cost to run per day?
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.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
If the need is short-term, hiring is the smarter move: no expensive unit sitting idle afterwards, and you get the right model for the problem in Lyth straight away.
How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while drying-out works in Lyth may need a week or more of continuous running.
Does this stop mould coming back in Lyth?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Lyth stop spreading.
