Delivery is usually available around Liff, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How long until I see a difference in Liff?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Liff may need a week or more of continuous running.
Will a dehumidifier get rid of black mould?
