Serving Winsford · minutes from home
No GP referral, no triage phone maze, no month-long wait. Head south from Winsford — A54 then the A530 — and a pharmacist-led clinic will examine both ears and clear them dry, usually within the week you call.
No referral needed. Ring 01270 215837 or use the booking page — Winsford patients are usually offered an appointment within the same week, Saturdays included.
Most people come down the A54 and pick up the A530 heading south into Crewe. We're at 139-141 Nantwich Road, CW2 6DF — a pharmacy on a main road, not a unit on an industrial estate.
Around 20 minutes in the chair: full examination of both ears, then water-free microsuction of whatever we find. £40 one ear, £60 both — nothing more.
Winsford sits a little further from us than our closest villages, and we're upfront about that: it's around twenty minutes each way. What brings people down regardless is the combination that's genuinely hard to find in one place — a clinician who'll see you this week, a method that doesn't involve squirting water into your head, and a price that's fixed before you get in the car.
The clinic sits inside Crewe Pharmacy, a GPhC-registered premises (No. 1029608) with the ear service led by our pharmacist team. That regulation matters more than it sounds: it means proper clinical standards, proper record-keeping, and someone accountable by name — not a van that was in a car park last Tuesday.
We're especially used to seeing hearing aid wearers from across mid-Cheshire, because aids are wax magnets — they block the canal's natural clearing and push wax deeper. Microsuction leaves the canal dry, so aids go straight back in and you drive home hearing what you've been missing. If softening drops make sense first, our preparation guide takes a minute to read; our prices page takes even less.
We think so — and here's the honest arithmetic. The alternative to a twenty-minute run down the A54 and A530 is usually weeks of waiting for something closer to home, or a bottle of supermarket drops and crossed fingers. Drops have their place as preparation, but used alone against an impacted plug they often make hearing temporarily worse before it gets better, because the softening wax swells and seals the canal more completely. That's weeks of muffled patience measured against forty minutes of driving.
What waits at the end of the A530 is the whole job in one sitting: both ears examined as standard, any wax cleared with water-free microsuction, and a bill fixed before you leave Winsford — £40 for one ear, £60 for both, all-in. Slots usually come up within the same week, and the live online diary shows exactly what's free before you commit to the drive, with your appointment confirmed instantly once you pick a time.
