A direct Bath to London man and van
A good number of Bath jobs go on a van already booked back east, so the fare covers the London-bound leg rather than the round trip. One man with a van carries the load the 115 miles onto the M4 and east from your Bath address, nothing reloaded on the way. A terrace off the Circus or a house in Oldfield Park, the price is agreed before you book.
Over 25 vetted drivers serve the Bath area.
- Onto the M4 near Chippenham and east to London, about 115 miles
- Roughly two to two and a half hours from the Georgian city
- The fare covers the London-bound leg, not the run home
- Better value on a van already due back east on the M4

Get a QuoteHow much does a Bath to London man and van cost?
Porta prices a Bath to London move as one fixed figure for the job, agreed before you book, not by the hour. It is a 2 to 2.5 hrs drive plus loading at both ends, which is where an hourly rate climbs. Here is that hourly cost set against Porta's fixed price:
| What you're moving | Typical UK Man and Van Rates* | With Porta |
|---|---|---|
| A single item A TV, a bike, a chair or a single boxed item | £192 one person, about 3 hrs incl. the drive | From £64 fixed |
| A large or awkward item A bed, a sofa, a wardrobe or a fridge-freezer | £234 two people, about 3 hrs incl. the drive | From £80 fixed |
| A part-load or small move A studio flat, a student room or a few rooms of furniture | £390 two people, about 5 hrs incl. the drive | From £205 fixed |
* The middle column applies Checkatrade's 2026 UK averages (£64 an hour for one mover, £78 for two) to a realistic 115-mile job: loading, the 2 to 2.5 hour run east on the M4 and unloading and unloading, with the empty return left out. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

Bath to London man and van FAQs
How far is Bath to London by road?
About 115 miles, onto the M4 near Chippenham then east into London, usually a two to two-and-a-half hour drive. One driver runs the full leg from the Georgian city, with no depot stop between.
What does a Bath to London man and van cost?
One fixed figure agreed before booking, not a running meter. With vans booked back east on the M4 often, your load can share a trip already going, from £64. What is aboard and any lifting decide it.
Fixed or hourly over 115 miles?
A fixed price wins comfortably at this distance, where an hourly rate would clock loading, the long drive east and unloading. Porta sets one number up front that holds whatever the M4 is doing.
Do you run London to Bath as well?
Yes, both ways. See man with a van London to Bath for the trip back west, with collection and delivery along the M4.
What travels east to London from Bath?
From a single antique to a whole townhouse, the heavy awkward pieces couriers turn down included. Georgian-flat moves, downsizing, auction and Marketplace pickups all suit the run east.
Is the lifting included, stairs and all?
Yes, shared with you at both ends, which counts in Bath with its terraced hills and London with its flights. Flag anything very heavy or a floor with no lift when you quote so the right help travels.
Same-day into London?
Sometimes, where a van is already due back east, though a 115-mile run is best planned ahead. A quick quote shows what can be matched to your date.
Which areas do you cover?
Pickups across Bath, the centre and Georgian terraces through Widcombe, Oldfield Park and Weston; drop-offs anywhere inside the M25, with a Chippenham or Swindon call worked in on the way east.
Any clean-air charges on this route?
Bath runs a Class C Clean Air Zone, but it charges buses, coaches, HGVs and taxis, not private cars or vans, so your pickup is clear. Your London drop may fall inside the ULEZ, with the central Congestion Charge, and any charge is inside your fixed price.
Can you move an antique dresser or cabinet?
Yes, a specialism of ours. Delicate and antique pieces are blanket-wrapped and strapped for the M4, carried by two where needed. Describe the piece and access when you quote. It also suits our large item courier service.
A sofa, bed or wardrobe east?
Yes, all regular loads. A sofa rides in a Luton van, a bed and wardrobe travel part-dismantled and are rebuilt on arrival. Send the sizes and note the Bath and London stairs when you quote.
Just one large item?
Yes. A single sofa, dresser or appliance run east on the M4 is exactly what our large item courier service is for, at one fixed price rather than a full van rate.
