The water is maybe 1" deep at its worst, and as far as I can tell,
most submersible pumps will struggle to get down to half that before
cutting out. I found a "puddle-sucker" on one or two sites, which
will go down to a few mm, but at a price. (£100+)


Hire a wet vac with an internal sub pump like this;


Could you not dig a small sump to collect a depth of water and pump it to a
drain outside? It could have a float switch to cut out when the sump is
empty.

with Google, I've not really found any simple, inexpensive, pumps that
would do the job, so does anyone have any clever ideas ?

Noted, thanks.

[It might be a bit of a struggle getting something that size into the
sub-floor void, mind you.]
