This page explains Select Home Care Services' pricing: a single flat rate of £33 per hour across all nine services, plus published holiday rates, with no registration fees and no long-term contract. Mileage and any expenses are agreed in advance. The first conversation is free.

Transparent Pricing

Clear, honest pricing. No surprises.

We believe families deserve to know exactly what they will pay before they pick up the phone.

Our Rate

One rate.
Every service.
Published in full.

We charge a single hourly rate across all nine of our services. No tiered pricing, no registration fees, no extra charge for weekends, and our few holiday rates are published in full below — a clear rate, with everything set out in advance.

We publish our rate because we believe transparency is part of the service. Most families have enough uncertainty to navigate without wondering what the bill will be. We aim to take that uncertainty away.

There is no long-term contract and no minimum number of visits. Before support begins we agree a short written service agreement setting out the rates and terms, so everything is clear. Arrange visits as regularly or occasionally as suits you.

Holiday Rates

Published in full, so you always know in advance.

Our standard rate applies every day of the year, weekends included — with a small number of published exceptions.

Double rate£66.00 per hour
Christmas Day · New Year’s Eve · Easter Sunday
Time and a half£49.50 per hour
Christmas Eve · all other UK bank holidays for England (including New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Boxing Day, May and August bank holidays, and substitute bank holidays)
Standard rate£33.00 per hour
All other days, including weekends

Holiday rates apply to visits taking place on those dates. Christmas Day is also a bank holiday — the double rate applies. New Year’s Eve and Easter Sunday are not bank holidays, but are charged at the double rate. When a bank holiday falls at a weekend, the substitute weekday bank holiday is also charged at time and a half — for example, Monday 28 December 2026.

Other Charges

Anything beyond the hourly rate, explained.

Minimum visit
Home visits are a minimum of one hour.
Mileage when we drive you
If your helper drives you in their own car — to an appointment or the shops, for example — or uses their car to run errands for you, mileage is charged at 45p per mile in addition to the hourly rate, and shown separately on your invoice. There is no charge for your helper’s journey to and from your home.
Shopping and other expenses
The cost of shopping bought for you is your own, and we agree with you how it will be paid for. Any other costs, such as car parking at an appointment, are agreed with you before they are paid.
Welfare telephone calls
Welfare calls cost £7.50 per call, lasting up to 15 minutes. The one-hour minimum for home visits does not apply.
Cancelling a visit
If you need to cancel a visit, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice; visits cancelled with less notice are charged in full. To end the arrangement altogether, please give us 7 days’ notice.
Your written agreement
There is no long-term contract. Before support begins, we agree a short written service agreement that sets out the rates, any expenses and our notice periods.
What Your Rate Includes

What every visit includes

A regular helper you get to know

We match you with a regular helper and keep that arrangement wherever we can. When your regular helper is unwell or on holiday, we arrange cover — ideally someone you have already met — and we tell you in advance whenever we can.

Full time on every visit

If the visit is two hours, it runs for two hours. We never cut short.

Family updates, if you wish

With the client’s agreement, we keep family members updated by message, call or written note.

DBS checked and fully insured

Every helper, verified before their first visit. Documentation available on request.

An introductory visit

Before support begins, we meet you at home to agree what would help. This visit is charged at our standard hourly rate.

No registration or admin fees

We never charge a joining, registration or admin fee.

Flexible scheduling

Change or pause visits easily. Cancel with 24 hours’ notice.

A small local team

Your call is answered by our small local team. Not a call centre.
