Is hiring worth it for a homeowner?
Delivery is usually available around Upper Stoke, 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 drying-out works in Upper Stoke may need a week or more of continuous running.
