What a dehumidifier does for Toft homes

Your Toft hire questions
What size dehumidifier do I need in Toft?
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 Toft.

It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at a few pence to around £1 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 Toft?
Most rooms feel noticeably less damp within 2 to 3 days; a soaked cellar or fresh plaster in Toft can take a little longer. We'll suggest a sensible hire length when you ask.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
A dehumidifier tackles the cause: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it won't keep returning in Toft.
