Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Carruthmuir, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How many days should I hire one for?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Carruthmuir may need a week or more of continuous running.
