Boots ear wax removal: price, booking and participating stores

Boots publishes an appointment-based microsuction service at selected UK stores. A Boots pharmacy identity does not by itself prove that a particular branch offers the service.

Does every Boots pharmacy offer ear wax removal?

No. Boots describes the service as available at selected stores. The Earwax Finder pharmacy checker contains registered premises identities, but it only publishes a positive service answer after direct confirmation for that branch.

Use the Boots booking journey to check current participation and appointment availability. Do not assume that a nearby Boots store offers ear wax removal simply because it is a registered pharmacy.

Boots ear wax removal price and appointment

The official Boots service page listed a £60 service fee at our 30 August 2026 review. Boots describes a 30-minute appointment in which a trained healthcare team member examines the ears and removes wax when appropriate.

Check the current booking terms for consultation, no-wax and follow-up charges before confirming an appointment. Provider prices and participating stores can change after this guide's review date.

  • Published method: microsuction
  • Published service fee at review: £60
  • Appointment length described by Boots: 30 minutes
  • Availability: selected stores only
  • Booking: use the current Boots online or in-store appointment route

Preparation and suitability

Boots asks customers to follow its pre-appointment wax-softening instructions and checks suitability before treatment. Its published exclusions include a current ear infection, recent ear surgery and sudden hearing loss.

Sudden hearing loss, severe pain, discharge or bleeding needs prompt clinical advice rather than a routine wax-removal booking. Read the provider's current criteria in full because a directory guide cannot decide whether treatment is suitable.
