We're planning a partial extension at the back of a lower ground floor flat - c300 sq feet

We need someone with significant experience of waterproofing, drainage and groundwater issues. Underpinning may be involved. Excavation isn't massive - already 4ft done (cellar)- it's water in most concerned about.

This would be accompanied by a wider renovation of the entire flat and construction of staircase to upstairs property.

We'd really like recommendations or to be contacted by a builder who can supply references and point to similar work.

Basement companies have largely us to get lost - the jobs too small and we live in SE london. It doesn't work for them but it might work for an independent contractor. Not bad though / I think basement companies would probably overcharge for this.

  Today we are seeing the impact of increased taxes (employers NI) with tje UK unemployment rate rising https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxrp7znkdlo Unfortunately, to increase tax burdens will see the economy stall or a recession, as Angelina says, cutting spending, whilst painful short term, is a good way to bring down government borrowing. True, we don't want to see cuts to services but there are other areas of government spending that can be reduced and with AI impacting all jobs across all businesses, maybe it will also reduce overall staffing costs.

  or cut costs. The cost of debt is a huge burden, it cannot be increased.

  Yes, they should clearly have been more honest on taxes before the election and not backed themselves into a corner. After 14 years of mismanagement and decline, they have to invest and at the same time start to bring borrowing down (otherwise they continues to be at the mercy of the bond markets). Continued cuts / degrading of public services is counter productive (a successful economy and society needs good infrastructure, education and health care). The single biggest thing they could do to immediately improve growth would be to rejoin the single market, but I appreciate that is difficult politically. So if you can't significantly boost growth short term, can't cut too much further, and need to raise money without borrowing, that only really leaves taxation. Of course, where best to target those taxes - that's the real question.
