How do I clear a musty, damp room?

Will it push my electricity bill up?
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 hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Marwick, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.

You'll often see the tank filling on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.

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.
