Frequently asked questions
- How much has regular house cleaning inflation increased since 2015?
- The ONS CPIH sub-index for Domestic services and household services (category 05.6.2) rose from 100.0 in 2015 to 141.2 in January 2026 — a rise of 41.2%. The 12-month change (Jan-25 to Jan-26) was +4.1%.
- Which UK region has the highest house cleaning labour costs?
- Based on ONS ASHE 2025, London consistently has the highest median earnings for most trade occupations. For Cleaners and domestics (SOC 9223), the London median is £27,812/year vs the national median of £24,130/year.
- Why does the GSPI not vary by region?
- The ONS CPIH is a national (UK-wide) index and does not publish regional sub-indices for most service categories. Regional variation is therefore captured via ONS ASHE labour cost data (which does vary by region), not via a separate regional CPIH. The GSPI is the same for a given service type across all regions; only the labour context differs.
