A direct London to Stoke-on-Trent man and van
Stoke-on-Trent lies about 150 miles up the M40 and M6, and London to Stoke-on-Trent runs it on the same nationwide man with a van network. One driver and van carry the load the whole way into the Potteries, no depot in between. When a van is already bound up the M6, joining that trip keeps a run this length affordable and cuts the empty miles.
Over 2,150 vetted drivers serve the London area.

Get a QuoteHow much does a London to Stoke-on-Trent man and van cost?
A London to Stoke-on-Trent man and van through Porta is one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. It is about a 3 to 3.5 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 | £256 one person, about 4 hrs incl. the drive | From £72 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 £95 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 £240 fixed |
* The middle column applies Checkatrade's 2026 UK averages (£64 an hour for one mover, £78 for two) to a realistic 150-mile job: loading, the 3 to 3.5 hour run up the M6 and unloading, with the empty return not counted. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

London to Stoke-on-Trent man and van FAQs
How far is Stoke-on-Trent from London?
About 150 miles up the M40 then the M6 into the Potteries, normally a three to three-and-a-half hour drive. One driver runs the whole leg, no depot stop between.
What does a London to Stoke man and van cost?
One fixed figure agreed before booking, not a meter counting up. With vans bound up the M6 often, your load rides a trip already going, from £72. The load and any lifting decide the rest.
Fixed or hourly on this run?
Fixed wins over 150 miles, where an hourly rate would stack up loading, the drive north and unloading. Porta prices the trip whole up front, so a slow stretch on the M6 costs nothing more.
Do you run Stoke back to London too?
Yes, the return goes the same way. Give us the Stoke pickup and London drop for a fixed price on the trip back down.
What travels up to the Potteries?
From a lone heavy item to a small flat move, the bulky things couriers refuse included. Marketplace buys, student moves and single furniture pieces all suit the run up the M6.
Will the driver help lift?
Yes, shared with you at both ends. Note anything very heavy or a flat with no lift at quote stage so the right help travels up.
Same-day to Stoke?
Sometimes, where a van is already bound up the M6, though a run this length is best planned. A quick quote shows what can be matched to your date.
Which areas do you cover?
Pickups anywhere in London to the M25; drop-offs across Stoke-on-Trent, Hanley and Newcastle-under-Lyme through Burslem, Tunstall and Longton, with a Birmingham or Stafford call possible on the way up.
Is there a Clean Air Zone charge?
Only at the London end. Your pickup may sit in the ULEZ, with the central Congestion Charge. Stoke-on-Trent has no charging Clean Air Zone, so nothing applies in the Potteries, and any London charge is inside your fixed price.
Can you take a three-seater sofa up?
Yes, sofas make the run up often. A three-seater or corner suite needs a Luton van and two people, worked through doorways and up stairs at both ends. Describe it and any tight access when you quote.
A dining set or wardrobe to Staffordshire?
Yes, tables and wardrobes travel part-dismantled and are rebuilt on arrival. Send the sizes when you quote. A single big piece also suits our large item courier service.
White goods up the M6?
Yes. Drain and strap a washer first; let a fridge freezer stand upright a few hours after the run before power. Both are two-person lifts, so flag them. Also covered by our large item courier service.
