Hourly/day rate for sub contracting

[Jamwak]

Just interested in what people think is a better way to do things. Working across yorkshire/Lancashire coast to coast doing general plumbing repairs/installs as a subcontractor. Now I'm currently on a day rate which i think is pretty good but I don't charge mileage. Can do a minimum 300 miles Monday to Friday. Managed 450 by Wednesday recently. So do people prefer an hourly rate plus a mileage or a day rate with or without mileage?

Cheers I felt 50p a mile on top is what should charge.

Don't forget that 50p also covers wear & tear on your vehicle not just fuel.

The one big one everybody forgets is all those extra miles are devaluing your van re-sale value when ever you sell it .

Cheers for the advice. One more question.
It's terms of charging mileage. Who I sub to pays my tax through cis. So when I invoice next will they pay my mileage after tax deductions?

Be carful contracting like this if this is the only work your doing for one companay the tax office could class you as not self employed
