I do less than 10k a year.

if its a big job worth some decent money I would travel for an hour or so but it's mainly local for me.

The closest I work is next door, I still drive my van the 3 meters to outside their house.

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Only local, maybe 20 miles if someone else drives!

 

[SimonG]

On average its 1 to about 20 miles. Ave about 10k a year. But have job will travel. I just price it accordingly.

 

[plumber0808]

If I could park the van so the side door would open onto their front door on every job it would be perfect.

Or I'm desperate or skint or bored

You can't go 5 miles each way Steve you'd be in the sea! In other words you don't go past that shell garage on the main road!?

 

[lame plumber]

get my passport out if I go up the hill out of town, unless its oily work or Agas, then off we go distance no object coz they pay more

 

[Ermintrude]

Upto 1 hour. But have occasionally been all the way to Scotland
