A direct London to Gloucester man and van
Getting to Gloucester means the M4 out west and then the M5 up towards the Severn, around 105 miles, handled on Porta's nationwide man with a van network. The piece stays on one van with one driver from your London door to the docks city. Slot it onto a westbound trip a driver is already running and the fare drops with the empty miles.
Over 2,150 vetted drivers serve the London area.
- M4 to the Severn, then the M5 north, roughly 105 miles
- Two to two and a half hours to the docks and cathedral city
- Loaded once in London, unloaded once in Gloucester
- Priced to ride with a van already booked west

Get a QuoteHow much does a London to Gloucester man and van cost?
A London to Gloucester 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 £62 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 £76 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 £198 fixed |
* The middle column applies Checkatrade's 2026 UK averages (£64 an hour for one mover, £78 for two) to a realistic 105-mile job: loading, the 2 to 2.5 hour run west on the M4 and M5 and unloading, with the empty return not counted. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

London to Gloucester man and van FAQs
How long is the run west to Gloucester?
Reckon on 105 miles by the M4 and M5 and a 2 to 2.5 hour drive out to the Severn, give or take the pull round Bristol. The driver stays with the load start to finish, so there is no reloading en route.
What does a London to Gloucester man and van cost?
You are quoted once, up front, for the whole westbound job rather than by the hour. Because vans run this way to the South West regularly, yours can travel on a trip that is on anyway, opening the price at £62. The load and any lifting take it from there.
Fixed price or hourly heading west?
Fixed, on a run like this. Hourly, the clock would cover loading, a couple of hours on the motorway and the unload, and any snarl-up on the M5 lands on you. The Porta figure is settled before you commit and does not budge.
Can you bring a load back from Gloucester?
Yes, the run works both ways. Tell us your Gloucester pickup and London drop-off for a fixed price on the return east.
What do you carry to Gloucester?
Mostly single pieces, a bookcase, a sofa, a wardrobe or a fridge, plus Marketplace and eBay buys too bulky for a car. Docks-quarter flat and house moves come too, with the lifting shared.
Is the lifting included?
It is, both ends, so a heavy piece is not left to you. Point out an upstairs flat with no lift or anything that takes two, and the right level of help sets off with the van.
Same-day to Gloucester?
Quite often, when a westbound driver is free. A same-day slot depends on who is running the M4 that day, so quote your date and the live options show.
Which parts of Gloucester do you cover?
The whole city, from the centre and the Docks to Tuffley, Longlevens and out to Quedgeley and Hucclecote, with pickups across London first and drop-offs possible in Swindon or Cirencester on the way.
Is there a clean-air charge to Gloucester?
Only the London end. Your pickup may sit in the ULEZ, with the central Congestion Charge. Gloucester runs no charging Clean Air Zone, so nothing applies in the Severn vale, and any London charge is inside your fixed price.
Can you take a sofa to Gloucester?
Yes, a frequent west-bound load. Two and three-seaters go in a Luton, and access is usually easy in the newer suburbs, tighter around the docks and old centre. Give the size and any awkward doorway when you quote.
A bookcase or wardrobe west?
Yes. Clear a bookcase before we load and take a flat-pack wardrobe down a touch for the doors. Tell us the pieces at quote stage. One standalone item can travel on our large item courier service instead.
Can you move an appliance to Gloucester?
Yes. Empty and strap a washer before it goes on; a fridge needs a few hours upright at the far end before power. Two people either way, so say so up front. Single units also suit our large item courier service.
