Pond maintenance

My pond has been looking after itself for at least a year now and is in bad need of some maintenance. In the warm weather it's becoming stagnant and even a little smelly. Anyone know any people who could clean it and help add a pump? Epsom Surrey area. Thanks

    If you get a solar pump it would be very easy to install yourself, would just need cleaning out once in a while.
    Do you have any fish or plants in it?

    There's a lily which looks ok. There's quite a lot of other algae and green but I couldn't specify what anything is. None of it looks particulary healthy. There is a pump (electric) but it no longer works. It's just in such a bad way that I'd like an expert to come and check it out then I can just maintain it. It was in the house we bought.
