Per-treatment flat-fee pricing — commonly per ear or per visit — is the dominant model.
Other common elements
A package or multi-visit discount, since earwax buildup is often a recurring issue for the same client.
A travel surcharge or minimum call-out charge.
A lower per-client rate for care-home visits where several residents are seen in one trip.
There's no confirmed UK market rate for this work.
Worth using
One figure exists in media coverage — private providers have been reported charging roughly £50–£100 per visit, via a 2022 RNID report — but this is a reported figure from press coverage, not this guide's own research finding, and shouldn't be treated as a typical rate or a benchmark.
Use the Treatment Price & Quote Builder with your own real costs instead.
