Post by: Sir Squeaky on March 04, 2007, 11:36:09 pm: 6 or 7 miles, but only for a day's work.

The furthest I travel for one job is a few hundred yards off course.

Post by: Ian_Giles on March 05, 2007, 05:53:36 am: Currently about 16 miles for one job for me, but I don't care how far I travel if the money is right.

I do lots of drive betweens, most of you seem to much prefer highly compacted work...it bores me to tears :'(
If the work is well priced...and if it means miles between acounts then they invariably are, then I enjoy the frequent changes of scenery.

Post by: Paul Coleman on March 05, 2007, 06:51:42 am: About 15 miles but that's just for a couple of particular jobs that are worth it. More typically it's about 6 or 7. I have travelled 30 miles a for a one off job before but it was a big, well paying one and very much worth it.
If the price was right I would travel much further too byt the chances are that a more local window cleaner would beat me on price due to travel costs.

100 miles!

What is it you clean that you are prepared to travel 100 miles to get too?

Do they cover your accommodation and subsitance costs too, or do you deduct those against your tax bill?

Post by: Majestic on March 05, 2007, 07:16:37 pm: I do a job about 40 miles away, it takes 3 days, a good earner
I am going to look at a commercial high level window cleaning job tomorrow.
50 miles away, I have told them that my price will include traveling time .They are fine with that
