Frequently asked questions
How much does a pest controller cost in South West?
A pest controller in South West costs an estimated £83–£208 per treatment in 2026, after applying the ONS CPIH 04.3 "Regular Maintenance and Repair of the Dwelling" sub-index (122.026, 2015 = 100, published 17 June 2026) and the ONS regional price level for South West. Gera Trade Cost Index: 97/100.
Why does a pest controller cost more or less in South West than the national average?
The CPIH-adjusted estimate for South West applies an ONS regional price-level (RRCPL) index of 102.4 (UK = 100, ONS 2016). An index above 100 means prices in this region tend to be above the UK average; below 100 means they tend to be below. Combined with the ONS CPIH 04.3 maintenance sub-index of 122.026 (2015 = 100), the result is a GTCI score of 97/100 for this trade-location combination.
What is the Gera Trade Cost Index (GTCI)?
The Gera Trade Cost Index (GTCI) adjusts published 2025 UK national typical-rate ranges for trades using two real, key-free ONS data sources: (1) the ONS CPIH 04.3 "Regular Maintenance and Repair of the Dwelling" sub-index (series L537, 2015 = 100, published in the Consumer Price Inflation dataset, OGL v3.0) — the official UK government inflation tracker for the trade-maintenance category; and (2) the ONS Relative Regional Consumer Price Levels (RRCPL) 2016 all-items index — the only official UK statistic that directly measures price-level differences between regions. Formula: adjusted_low = base_2015_low_cost × (CPIH_04_3 / 100) × (regional_RRCPL / 100); adjusted_high = adjusted_low × (national_high / national_low). base_2015_low_cost is the 2025 national lower bound deflated back to the 2015 index baseline (= national_low_2025 / 1.2104). The GTCI score (0–100) measures how a location's adjusted midpoint compares to the UK-average CPIH-adjusted midpoint (RRCPL = 100): a score of 100 means exactly at the national CPIH-adjusted average; scores below 85 indicate above-average cost for that trade in that area. No figure is a measured transaction price — all are estimates derived from the published indices and must be validated by obtaining an itemised quote.
