Delivery is usually available around Roxburgh, or collection from a local depot. Just add your address when you request a quote.
How quickly will it dry my room?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while a flooded space in Roxburgh may need a week or more of continuous running.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
A dehumidifier tackles the cause: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it struggles to come back in Roxburgh.
