how many go out of there local areas to do work, is it worth it, costs , collecting etc. just to get another round going.

As long as there's a decent days work on offer I don't mind where my work is!
The farthest I travel so far is approx. 35miles :)

work all over the country furthest to date is newcastle I believe.
If it wasnt worth it, I would not do it.
30miles round on regular work
-
its the collecting when people out, i dont mind doing the work, but when they owe double they dont like paying, + fuel expense going back collecting
-
one of my rounds is about 18 miles away so i just work later and start collecting when i finnish, although this only works for 9 months of the year with dark nights.
work till 5pm , go for a coffee then start collecting.
-
approx 4 miles radius 95% of the time.
Did do a 40 mile round trip this morning though to do commercial internals for 4 hours then back to my patch to do a handful of residentials
-
Normally no more than 5 miles from my house
-
My furthest is 27 miles once a week

I never go collecting mate - my slips have all my payment details on - anyone who owes gets a text before the next clean with instructions to either pay online or leave the money/chq out - no payment no clean
Most customers that I've texted/called for money are usually very apologetic for forgetting and pay up
Must admit, offering online banking options has been excellent for me
-
i will have to look into paypal etc.,

do i have to go into bank to sort this out or what do i have to do for them to get it into my bank account, i like idea of cheque or cash left to pick up, and my paypal account
-
No mate - my slips have my sort code and account number for my business account - and I also ask them when they make an online payment - PayPal or bank transfer - to include their address as a reference
Nothing complicated :)

On line works great.paypal costs money.
Plus, helps cash flow.
Custys sends cheque takes 2 days in post, then I bank end of the week, few more days, and then 3 days to clear......
On line really does help cash flow.
