For a cold or unheated room, choose a compressor model rated for low temperatures and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Shotley Gate.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
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.

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 Shotley Gate?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Shotley Gate may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Shotley Gate stop spreading.
