My round is in patches. Very little is less than half a mile away but about 30% is within 2 miles. Another 30% is within 5 miles and the rest is centred on a village about 10 miles away. My furthest domestic account lies 2 miles from the village on the side furthest from me and is 12 miles from home - but I always do it with the other village stuff.

If I was offered a regular days work at "good rates" I would travel up to 35 miles to do it as long as I could start early. So all you cleaners needing holiday cover in Newport, Monmouth, Cheltenham, Chippenham, Frome, Bridgwater and Burnham on Sea and Flat Holm Island (google it!) may apply for my services!

For myself I am aiming to fill in gaps in my area rather than actively seeking elsewhere.

The bulk of my work is within 12 miles but my furthest regular job is a bit over 20 miles away.  I will travel much further for the right money and have done so.

For our Brit domestic stuff, in 6 areas we travel upto 45 + miles for a full days work. (200 quid approx) A couple of our areas are only 10 miles away. Shops etc are all within 10 miles (We live out in the country).

Gold says it all really. We will go international though, if there's a wad to earn ! ;D It's all about money to me, not comfort.

65 miles. No I'm not joking.
I do a day a month in Bromley and Orpington. It's good money but by the time you factor in fuel and travel time it's no better than a local day.
So I'm getting rid of it soon. 
It is too far.
That's the trouble with living by the coast.
A manager is generally someone who has been promoted to the position by someone else who didn't see them as a threat.
Hence all people are promoted to the level of their incompetence

its around about 20.00 in fuel so if its worth more than that in local work then its worth it?

I go 20 mile away as the prices are easily double, so the few quid in fuel is nothing, travel time would apply no matter what job i had , not everyone can work on there doorstep

Yeah I only took it on cos I lost an 800 quid a month job and needed the money.
Have picked up more work closer so will be chuffed to sell it on.
