The lengths people go to just to get out of Epsom for a day

You better put your prices up for a 50 mile trip

i do  because i would rather not go there but some still book in ! its the only time we get over 60 pounds for a suite

[stevegunn]

Wherever they want me to go as long as the money is right normally 30 mile radius Shotley bridge today Darlington last week

[Ian Rochester]

We are spreading out further and further, I would say we go out about 70 miles now, however generally our main catchment is about a 25 mile radius of home, mainly north and west of us, with the odd jobs to the south (it's just sea to the east!)

[Mike Halliday]

so how much do you charge to travel? if you charge £60 to clean a L/R and it takes 30mins  to get their (1hr round trip) you must be doubling your price to cover the travel time, I can't believe any customer will accept a charge of £120 for a L/R so you'll proberbly be putting an extra £10 on the price, no way will this cover the time it takes to get there.

'I charge extra to travel' is a cop-out, 

but i soppose if you're not busy its only petrol money you need to make up, but if you can fit another job into the time you spend traveling to that far away job you are missing out.

Hi Guys

I get a lot of enquiries from my www.leatherclean.co.uk site and it is for these that I usually travel, where the customer is looking for an 'expert' and I do use that term lightly.

Cheers

Was this just a scenic tour Steve or did you clean some carpets on the way?
One hour gaps between Leatherhead - Milford - and then all the way back to Epsom would give you make 20 mins cleaning time each.  How many carpets & of what size would you be cleaning in that time

[derikraven]

Inverness to Durness and back.....220 mile round trip !

No mate, all quotes - one supply and fit, the rest cleaning. Had one accepted already, doing that on Monday.
