It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much of electricity per day of use.
Can you deliver to Thorpe Thewles?

How quickly will it dry my room?

Does this stop mould coming back in Thorpe Thewles?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
