Your Wookey hire questions

It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at a few pence to around £1 of electricity per day of use.
Can you deliver to Wookey?

How quickly will it dry my room?
It depends how wet things are: a damp room clears in days, while drying-out works in Wookey 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 Wookey.
