A direct Birmingham to Leeds man and van
Birmingham to Leeds runs about 120 miles up the M42 and M1, Midlands to Yorkshire, on the same nationwide man with a van network. One driver and van carry the load the whole way, no depot between. With drivers heading up the M1 often, a piece on a trip already going lands cheaper and cuts the empty miles.
Over 250 vetted drivers serve the Birmingham area.
- Up the M42 and M1 from the Midlands to Yorkshire, about 120 miles
- Roughly 2 to 2.5 hours between the two cities
- One driver and van door to door, nothing reloaded
- Cheaper on a van already heading up the M1

Get a QuoteHow much does a Birmingham to Leeds man and van cost?
A Birmingham to Leeds man and van through Porta is one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. It is about a 2 to 2.5 hrs drive with loading at both ends, which is where an hourly bill mounts up. Here is the hourly way next to Porta's fixed price:
| What you're moving | Typical UK Man and Van Rates* | With Porta |
|---|---|---|
| A single item A bike, a TV, a mattress or a single boxed item | £192 one person, about 3 hrs incl. the drive | From £64 fixed |
| A large or awkward item A sofa, fridge-freezer, wardrobe or chest of drawers | £234 two people, about 3 hrs incl. the drive | From £80 fixed |
| A part-load or small move A student room, a studio flat or a part-load of furniture | £390 two people, about 5 hrs incl. the drive | From £200 fixed |
* The middle column applies Checkatrade's 2026 UK averages (£64 an hour for one mover, £78 for two) to a realistic 120-mile job: loading, the 2 to 2.5 hour run up the M1 and unloading, with the empty return not counted. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

What our customers say
Although the collection didn’t go as planned for reasons out of their control, the customer service on every contact was first rate, with prompt polite replies & the company taking ownership and quickly and efficiently making alternative arrangements. Highly recommended
Courier went above and beyond to ensure our goods were delivered to a couple of sites for us. Customers couldn't take goods on the same day that we had arranged originally, so courier sent them on to the clients the next morning.
Very efficient. I booked on the website and the boxes were collected within a couple of days, and then delivered on the same day as collection. Great service.

Birmingham to Leeds man and van FAQs
How long is Birmingham to Leeds by road?
About 120 miles up the M42 then the M1, Midlands to Yorkshire, usually a two to two-and-a-half hour drive. A single driver runs the full length, with no depot stop between.
What does a Birmingham to Leeds move cost?
One fixed figure agreed before booking, never a meter. With drivers heading up the M1 often, your load shares a trip already running, from £64. What is aboard and any lifting fix the rest.
Fixed or hourly up the motorway?
A fixed price generally wins over 120 miles, where an hourly rate would clock loading, the drive north and unloading. Porta sets one number up front that holds whatever the M1 is doing.
Do you run Leeds back to Birmingham?
Yes, both ways. Give us the Leeds pickup and Birmingham drop for a fixed southbound price down the M1.
What can travel up to Leeds?
From a single heavy piece to a small flat move, the bulky items a courier will not run this far included. Marketplace buys, student moves and one-off furniture all suit the run.
Is loading help included?
Yes, at both ends. Note anything very heavy or a flat with no lift when you quote so the right help travels up the M1.
Can you go same-day to Leeds?
Often, where a driver is heading up the M1. Short-notice trips come down to who is free, so a quick quote shows what is open.
Which areas do you cover?
Pickups across Birmingham, the centre and Edgbaston out to Solihull; deliveries across Leeds, the centre and Headingley through to Chapel Allerton and Morley, with a Derby or Sheffield call possible on the way.
Is there a Clean Air Zone charge?
Only at the Birmingham end. Birmingham runs a charging Clean Air Zone covering vans centrally; Leeds scrapped its planned zone in 2020, so the delivery end is clear. Any Birmingham charge is built into your fixed price.
Will a corner sofa make the trip?
Yes, suites go up often. A big corner one needs a Luton van and two people, worked through doorways and up stairs at both ends. Describe the layout and access when you quote.
Wardrobes and beds up the M1?
Yes, part-dismantled for the distance and rebuilt on arrival. Send the sizes when you quote. A single big piece also suits our large item courier service.
Can you shift an appliance to Leeds?
Yes. Drain and strap a washer first; leave a fridge freezer upright a few hours after the run before power. Both are two-person lifts, so flag them. Also covered by our large item courier service.
