A direct London to Bath man and van
Bath is about 115 miles straight down the M4, and the run goes on the same nationwide man with a van network. Your item travels with one driver and van to the Georgian city, no depot between. With drivers down the M4 most days, a piece on a trip already booked lands cheaper and cuts the empty miles.
Over 2,150 vetted drivers serve the London area.
- Straight down the M4 to Bath, about 115 miles west
- Roughly 2 to 2.5 hours to the Georgian city
- One driver and van the whole way, nothing reloaded
- Cheaper on a van already running down the M4

Get a QuoteHow much does a London to Bath man and van cost?
A London to Bath 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 £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 down the M4 and unloading, with the empty return not counted. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

London to Bath man and van FAQs
How long down the M4 to Bath?
About 115 miles, usually a 2 to 2.5 hour drive to the Georgian city. One driver takes the item the whole way, no depot stop between.
What does a London to Bath man and van cost?
A single fixed figure agreed before booking, not an hourly clock. Drivers run down the M4 often, so your load can share a trip already going, and prices start at £64. What is on the van and any lifting settle it.
Fixed price or hourly to Bath?
A fixed price generally wins over 115 miles, since an hourly rate would tick through loading, the run west and unloading. Porta sets one number up front, and it holds whatever the M4 is doing.
Can you bring a load back from Bath to London?
Yes, the run works both ways. Tell us your Bath pickup and London drop-off for a fixed price on the return up the M4.
What do you carry down to Bath?
Mostly single pieces, an armchair, a sofa, a wardrobe or a fridge, plus Marketplace and eBay buys too bulky for a car. Georgian-flat and student moves come too, with the lifting shared, handy for the city's steep hillside terraces.
Is the lifting included?
Yes, at both ends, which counts with Bath's hillside stairs and terraces. Note anything very heavy or a flat with no lift when you quote so the right help travels down.
Same-day to Bath?
Often, where a driver is heading down the M4. Short-notice trips come down to availability, so a quick quote shows what is open for your date.
Which parts of Bath do you cover?
The whole city, from the centre and Widcombe to Oldfield Park, Twerton and up to Larkhall and Weston, with pickups across London first and drop-offs possible in Swindon or Chippenham on the way.
What about ULEZ and the Bath Clean Air Zone?
Both ends can carry a charge. Your London pickup may sit in the ULEZ (with the Congestion Charge centrally), and Bath runs a charging Clean Air Zone across the centre that, unlike some, does include vans. Most platform vans meet the standard, and where a charge applies it is built into your fixed price.
Can you take a sofa down to Bath?
Yes, though Bath's narrow Georgian staircases and hillside terraces make access the thing to flag. A two or three-seater fits a Luton with a two-person crew. Tell us the size and any tight turn or stair at quote stage.
An armchair or wardrobe to Bath?
An armchair loads whole; a wardrobe comes down a little for the doors and the terrace stairs. Give us the pieces when you quote. A lone item can travel on our large item courier service instead.
Can you move an appliance to Bath?
Yes. Drain and secure a washer beforehand; a fridge wants settling upright before power at the far end. Both need two, and the terrace access is worth flagging up front. Single ones also suit our large item courier service.
