On my screen the type used is very small, borderline on impossible to read
particulary as it is a serif font. This applies to the whole site. I'd
also look at the colours used in the mouse over and active bits of the LH
menu, active and mouse over use the same (boring) grey, mouse over has a
white drop shadow which looks "odd".

As others have said what does the included travel mean? I have this tap
washer that needs changing I somehow don't think you'll come up to the
North Pennines to do it for £30... Give a radius, time and/or places you
are happy to travel to for that inclusive amount. Possibly give a p/mile
for further distances but bear in mind a realistic figure is likely to put
people off, realistic being around 50p/mile (fuel, servicing, repairs,
insurance, depreciation/replacement). Most people will think only in terms
of fuel which is around 15p/mile or less.

The list of up to x hrs for £n is on the large side and difficult to take
in. Better, IMHO, to break it down to:

£30 first half hour includes travel.
Next 30 mins £15.
Subsequent hours £15 pro rata.

This gives you 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165.

More or less what you have now but a much simpler method of arriving at
the figure. Also frees up screen space for your travel info and spread out
or add some other info. You don't mention if parts/materials are included
or not...
