Man with a Van Exeter

With Porta it 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 the hills and narrow centre eat into that time. Porta puts the whole figure on the table first; it depends on what you are shifting, how far it travels and whether you want a hand loading. Run a quote for your number.

All of Exeter and out across Devon, from the Cathedral and the quay through St Leonard's, St Thomas, Heavitree and Pinhoe to Topsham and Alphington. Drop your pickup and drop-off postcodes into the quote to see the drivers closest to you.

There is a good chance. Same-day man and van in Exeter depends on a free driver nearby rather than a fixed slot, so it is worth quoting your postcode to see whether one can reach you today.

Almost any load below a full removal. In Exeter that covers single bulky items, eBay and Facebook Marketplace collections, office bits and a one-bed move, with the lifting a parcel service simply will not do.

Yes. A man and van means a pair of hands as well as the vehicle, so the heavy work is shared. Mention stairs, lifts or particularly heavy pieces on the quote and the job is matched to a driver set up for it.

Tell us about both ends when you quote. Exeter has the pedestrianised High Street and Cathedral Green, the medieval lanes around the centre, and steep terraced streets in St Leonard's and Newtown, so a central or hillside pickup can need a loading spot planned. Note any permit bays, stairs or restrictions and your driver works out the approach.

No minimum and no call-out fee. Because it is a fixed price for the task rather than an hourly rate, a brief job is not inflated to meet some minimum, and the figure you are quoted is the figure you pay.

Yes. The University of Exeter draws thousands of students onto its Streatham campus and into St James, Pennsylvania 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.

No. Exeter runs no charging Clean Air Zone, so there is no daily charge to bring a van into the city. Your quote is simply one fixed, upfront price for the move, with nothing extra to settle on the day.
