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.

You wana throw them Welshpool
And Llandudno jobs to me

most of my work is within an 8 mile radius(mostly 6 miles very compact) but i would travel up to 10 miles away from my home but thats it.

im just not interested in travelling too far away with fuel costs,wear and tear on van and time it takes.

my weekly fuel bill is about £15 a week.
price higher/work harder!

I go from Aberystwyth to Welshpool every week for a National, 60 miles each way.

We travel ANYWHERE from our base in Crawley, West Sussex - distance is no object to us.

This is something I have been giving some thought to. Mind you my aim is to exclusivley do domestics. My thinking is the less travelling you have to do = more time on glass = less vehicle / fuel cost = higher profitability.
or is my thinking flawed?

Hi Jim
   No your thinking is not flawed,im just struggling to get customers local at the moment,most just say we allready have a window cleaner or we do them ourselves,so just curious as to what other people would do in same situation :-\
