Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
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 quickly will it dry my room?

Can it help with mould on the walls?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Somersal Herbert lose the damp they feed on.
