What our customers say
Excellent service, good communication and value. The delivery drivers were also very respectful and helpful. I Will definitely recommend and use this company again. Thanks for the smooth service.
Great communication and excellent delivery our driver Alex was super helpful and arrived exactly when he said he was going to.
Very good service, I would recommend you to anyone. One small glitch was that the seller should have sent a code with the driver to say it had been delivered so the seller could collect his money

Chester man and van FAQs
What does a man with a van cost in Chester?
With Porta, a man with a van in Chester is a single fixed price for the job, agreed before you book rather than charged by the hour. Local firms here tend to run a meter, commonly £40 to £60 an hour with a two-hour minimum, and threading a van through the walled medieval centre eats into that time. Porta puts the whole figure on the table first, down to what you are shifting, how far it travels and whether you want a hand loading. Run a quote for your number.
Which parts of Chester can Porta reach?
All of Chester and out across Cheshire, from the Rows and the walls through Handbridge, Hoole, Boughton and Blacon to Upton and Vicars Cross. Drop your pickup and drop-off postcodes into the quote to see the drivers closest to you.
Could I get a van in Chester today?
Most days, yes. With drivers already moving around Chester, a same-day or urgent job often fits in. It is never guaranteed, so check the live position by quoting your postcode.
Is there anything a man and van in Chester won't take?
Just about everything except a whole-house removal. Chester customers book single items, part-loads, student moves and small flat moves, and the two-person, heavy and bulky pieces are the ones we are built for.
Is there help with the heavy items?
Yes, as a matter of course. You will not be doing the carrying alone; that is what separates a man and van from a self-drive van. Heavy or stair-bound items just need flagging when you quote so help is in place.
Is access tricky anywhere in Chester?
Chester's walled centre is the real consideration: the medieval Rows, narrow streets and pedestrian zones, with the ring road around it and permit parking through Hoole and Handbridge. Tell us about both ends when you quote and your driver will plan the loading point and time a central pickup around the restrictions.
Will a small job still cost a minimum?
No. Hourly outfits lean on a minimum charge to make small jobs worth their while; Porta does not, because the price is fixed to the job. A quick move is quoted as a quick move, nothing added.
Is a man and van good for Chester student moves?
Yes. The University of Chester draws students onto its Parkgate Road campus and into Hoole, Newtown and the centre, and a man and van is ideal for moving between halls, shared houses and flats. Give us the pickup, the drop-off and what is going for a fixed price.
Is there a Clean Air Zone charge in Chester?
No. Chester considered a charging Clean Air Zone but met its air quality targets with non-charging measures instead, so there is no daily charge to drive a van into the city. Your quote is simply one fixed, upfront price for the job, with nothing to settle on the day.
