Default Cellar flood

So could it be worth investigating why the water has
suddenly appeared.... something blocked up on the exterior
land somewhere, and/or why that sump isn't draining away?

That's the first thing to do.
Check ditches and gutters and any recent work some neighbour or fly
tipper has done. Have you lost water pressure lately? Does your
chewing-gum lose it's flavour on the bed post overnight?

Always take the nails out of the pipes before repairing the leaks; ditto
for nails in wires before replacing blown fuses.

Then you can start thinking about hitting yourself over the head with a
damp bank manager for the next few decades.
