The area around Sheffield.
Sheffield spreads across a large and hilly area, which has a real effect on how local trade works: customers genuinely will not travel across the city, and the practical service radius for most home-services businesses is smaller than the map suggests. Being specific about which side of the city you cover produces noticeably better-qualified enquiries than a blanket claim to serve Sheffield.
Closest to Sheffield within the Sheffield council area: Stocksbridge (9 miles). Just over the council boundary, Dronfield (6 miles), Rotherham (6 miles), Staveley (9 miles) and Wath upon Dearne (10 miles) are close by. Further out, Chesterfield (10 miles), Mexborough (11 miles) and Maltby (11 miles) are within commuting distance. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
