Repeat domestic with at least a days work - 10/15 miles

Commercial/School priced right up to 25 but if the right job landed in my lap, say 50.
It's a game of three halves!

well i've got 2 holiday homes 20 miles away, if they were local the price would be around £20 & £8 but i get £50 for the pair only now & again though, when i got them i did a bit of canvassing & the lad who does them comes up from blackpool !!!!! which is at least a good 70 mile away, he's a bit more expensive than me i imagine , no one who lives up ther is skint though

With that sort of distance you'd have to factor in overnight accommodation and subsistence costs for your workers.  It must be well paid.

I clean a holiday home annually, along with 5 chalets nearby. They are 55 miles away, and well worth the trip. Last year I took my time, (first cleans) stayed overnight and was fed and watered every mealtime without charge.

Go further, but less often.

I sometimes go from telford to Welshpool, Welshpool to Stafford, Stafford back to telford in a day. It's worth the travel, ESP in the rain or snow.
Done jobs at derby and Llandudno too.
