Best way to dry out skimmed ceilings?

I'm currently having four ceilings skimmed and as the chain of events leading to me moving in are now directly connected to the skim drying out, I wondered if there is a sensible way to speed it up?

It's empty for most of the time so reluctant to leave the windows open. The Central heating is working but I suspect I'd face the danger of it drying out too quickly if I left it on or would a low temp help (maintaining for example 15 degrees C)?

I've also read about using dehumidifiers on here which sounds like a good idea to me but would I need one in each room or would one do the whole bungalow? There are no doors fitted by the way so it's a collection of connecting spaces.

Any advice gratefully received.

Ta,
Jon.

it should only take a couple of days to dry out if your skimming plasterboard, ive seen them use red heaters on site to dry them out but not for the sake of a couple of ceilings.
