Your Lidstone hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
Ventilate, fix any obvious source of water, then run a properly sized dehumidifier. Within a few days the smell and the damp ease off in Lidstone.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?

If the need is short-term, hiring is the smarter move: no expensive unit sitting idle afterwards, and you get the right model for the problem in Lidstone straight away.
How many days should I hire one for?

It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Lidstone lose the damp they feed on.
