How quickly will it dry my room?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while drying-out works in Morriston may need a week or more of continuous running.
Does this stop mould coming back in Morriston?
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.
