Man with a Van London to Leicester

It is about 100 miles up the M1 and usually a 2 to 2.5 hour drive, depending on the motorway and your exact pickup and drop-off. Your driver collects, heads north into the East Midlands and delivers on the same trip.

The price is fixed up front for the whole job, not run on an hourly meter. Because drivers regularly head up the M1, your move can often share a trip already booked, and that keeps prices starting from £60. What you pay tracks the size of the load and any lifting you want done.

Over 100 miles it usually is. By the hour the meter covers loading, the drive up the M1 and unloading at the far end, so any delay adds to the bill. A Porta quote is set before you commit and does not change if the motorway slows.

Yes, both ways. See man with a van Leicester to London for the trip back down, with collection and delivery anywhere along the M1.

From one appliance to a full flat, taking in the heavy, awkward things couriers often refuse, beds, sofas, wardrobes and the like. Students heading to Leicester or De Montfort, house moves and marketplace pickups all fit the run.

Yes, loading and unloading are done with you at both ends, not left for you as with a self-drive hire. Flag the heaviest pieces, or stairs without a lift, at the quote stage so the driver arrives ready for them.

Often, where a driver is already heading up the M1. Same-day and next-day runs to the East Midlands depend on who is free, so a quick quote is the fastest way to see live slots for your date.

We collect across the whole of London out to the M25, and deliver anywhere in Leicester and around, from the city centre and Clarendon Park to Oadby, Wigston and Beaumont Leys, with stops possible in towns up the M1.

Only the London end carries a charge here. Your pickup may sit inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, with the Congestion Charge on top in the central zone. Leicester planned a Clean Air Zone but did not bring it in, so there is no such charge at the Leicester end. Any London charge that applies is built into your fixed price.

Yes, corner suites are a common load on this run. A big one usually needs a Luton van and two people, and the driver helps angle it through doorways and up stairs at both ends. Describe the layout and any tight access when you quote so the right van is sent.

Most two-door and flat-pack wardrobes go in a large van as they are, and a bigger fitted or three-door one comes apart to protect the doors over 100 miles. Add the width, height and depth when you quote so the right vehicle is matched.

Yes. Drain and secure a washing machine before pickup, and stand a fridge freezer upright for a few hours after the drive before switching it on. Both are heavy two-person items, so flag them when you quote. Big appliances also suit our large item courier service.
