A man with a van right across Lincoln
Porta has vetted drivers across Lincoln and out through Lincolnshire, from the Cathedral and Bailgate uphill down to the High Street, the Brayford Waterfront and out to Ermine, Boultham and Birchwood, so help is rarely far. It is the nationwide man with a van service on home turf, run by drivers who know Steep Hill, the uphill-downhill divide and the LN postcodes. When a driver is already making the run, sharing the trip brings both the price and the wasted miles down.
Over 35 vetted Porta drivers cover Lincoln and the wider Lincolnshire.
- Right across Lincoln and the rest of Lincolnshire
- One vetted driver and van from start to finish, no depots or handovers
- The lifting, and the hill, handled as part of the price
- Drivers who know Steep Hill, the Bailgate and the LN postcodes

Lincoln man and van FAQs
How much should a man and van in Lincoln cost?
Porta gives you one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. Local outfits tend to run a meter, often £40 to £60 an hour on a two-hour minimum, and a move up or down Steep Hill burns through that fast. Porta puts the whole figure on the table first, down to the load, the distance and whether you want a hand. Quote your postcodes for your number.
What areas around Lincoln do you serve?
All of Lincoln and out across Lincolnshire, from the Cathedral and Bailgate uphill down to the High Street and Brayford, through Ermine, Monks Road and the West End to Boultham and Birchwood. Drop both postcodes into the quote to see the drivers nearest you.
Do you take short-notice jobs in Lincoln?
Regularly. A same-day Lincoln booking works best when a driver is free and close, which is common across the city. Quote the job and today's options come up without you having to ring round.
What kind of loads do you handle in Lincoln?
A lot more than a courier will. Sofas, beds, appliances, flat-pack furniture, a handful of boxes or a small Lincoln move are all standard, as are the heavy and unwieldy one-offs other services leave behind.
Do I have to do the carrying myself?
Of course. Carrying and loading are built into the price, not extra, so a heavy sofa or a fridge-freezer is the driver's job too. Note any stairs or tricky access on the quote and the right help travels with the van.
Any parking issues to know about in Lincoln?
Lincoln's biggest consideration is the hill: the Cathedral, Bailgate and Steep Hill sit up top on narrow, cobbled, partly pedestrian streets, with the modern centre and Waterfront down below. Tell us about both ends when you quote and your driver will plan the loading point and work out the uphill or downhill approach.
Are there any booking or call-out fees?
Not here. No call-out fee, no minimum hours, no surprise extras on the day. One price is agreed before you book and that is what settles the job, large or small.
Do you take on student moves in Lincoln?
Yes. The University of Lincoln sits on the Brayford Waterfront and draws thousands of students into the centre and the West End, 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.
Does Lincoln have a Clean Air Zone charge?
No. Lincoln runs no charging Clean Air Zone, so there is no daily charge to drive a van through the city. Your quote is simply one fixed, upfront price for the job, with nothing extra to settle on the day.
