A direct London to Lincoln man and van
Lincoln is about 140 miles up the A1, and the run goes on the same nationwide man with a van network. Your item travels with one driver and van to the cathedral city, no depot between. When a van is already heading up the A1, joining that trip keeps the price down and cuts the empty miles on a run this far north.
Over 2,150 vetted drivers serve the London area.
- Up the A1 to Lincoln, about 140 miles north
- Roughly 2.5 to 3 hours to the cathedral city
- One van and driver the whole way, nothing reloaded
- Keener on a van already heading up the A1

Get a QuoteHow much does a London to Lincoln man and van cost?
A London to Lincoln man and van through Porta is one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. It is about a 2.5 to 3 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 | £256 one person, about 4 hrs incl. the drive | From £70 fixed |
| A large or awkward item A sofa, fridge-freezer, wardrobe or chest of drawers | £312 two people, about 4 hrs incl. the drive | From £88 fixed |
| A part-load or small move A student room, a studio flat or a part-load of furniture | £468 two people, about 6 hrs incl. the drive | From £230 fixed |
* The middle column applies Checkatrade's 2026 UK averages (£64 an hour for one mover, £78 for two) to a realistic 140-mile job: loading, the 2.5 to 3 hour run up the A1 and unloading, with the empty return not counted. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

London to Lincoln man and van FAQs
How far up the A1 is Lincoln?
About 140 miles, usually a 2.5 to 3 hour drive from London to the cathedral city. One driver takes the item the whole way, no depot stop between.
What does a London to Lincoln man and van cost?
One fixed figure agreed before booking, not a running meter. Drivers head up the A1 often, so your load can share a trip already going, and prices start at £70. What is on the van and any lifting decide it.
Fixed or hourly on the run to Lincoln?
A fixed price generally wins over 140 miles, since an hourly rate would tick through loading, the long run north and unloading. Porta sets one number up front, and it holds whatever the A1 is doing.
Can you bring a load back from Lincoln?
Yes, the run works both ways. Tell us your Lincoln pickup and London drop-off for a fixed price on the return down the A1.
What do you take up to Lincoln?
Mostly single pieces worth a van, a wardrobe, a sofa, a bed or a fridge, plus Marketplace and eBay buys too bulky for a car. Student and flat moves come too, with the lifting shared.
Is lifting help included?
Yes, at both ends, which counts on the city's famous Steep Hill and up to the Bailgate. Note anything very heavy or a flat with no lift when you quote so the right help travels up.
Can a Lincoln run be same-day?
Sometimes, where a driver is already heading north, though a longer run pays to quote early. A quick quote shows what can be matched.
Which parts of Lincoln do you cover?
The whole city, uphill by the Bailgate and cathedral, the centre and Sincil Bank, out to Ermine, Boultham and Birchwood, with pickups across London first and drop-offs possible in Grantham or Newark on the way.
Is there a clean-air charge to Lincoln?
Only the London end. Your pickup may sit in the ULEZ, with the central Congestion Charge. Lincoln runs no charging Clean Air Zone, so nothing applies at the Lincolnshire end, and any London charge is inside your fixed price.
Can you take a corner sofa to Lincoln?
Yes. A large corner suite takes a Luton and two hands, and the delivery is easy enough downhill, more of a job uphill by the Bailgate and the famous Steep Hill. Describe the room and where it is going when you quote.
A wardrobe or bed up the A1?
Yes, taken down a little for 140 miles and rebuilt on arrival. Measurements at quote stage set the van size. A lone piece can also go on our large item courier service.
Can you move an appliance to Lincoln?
Yes. Empty and lock a washer before we set off; a fridge wants a few hours upright after the drive north before power. Two people, and worth flagging any uphill access. Single units also suit our large item courier service.
