    six million people in the UK hire help for household chores.
    Paying for cleaners, gardeners and handymen has stood the test of the economic downturn, with 12 per cent of Britons employing them.

    One in four said they paid for hired help because they did not like doing the chores themselves, while a third said they were too busy and did not have time for domestic tasks.

    The figure rose to 48 per cent for those aged 18 to 34.
    Most in demand were cleaners and gardeners, each being employed in 2.5 million households. A further 500,000 people hired someone to do the laundry and ironing. Half a million parents employed nannies, the research by Churchill Home Insurance found. And a million Britons handed over basic DIY tasks to handymen.

    The firm's Martin Scott said: "Even in these difficult times, house-proud Britons are finding the extra cash to help keep their homes pristine."
