A direct Nottingham to Sheffield man and van
Nottingham to Sheffield is a short M1 hop of about 40 miles through the East Midlands, on the same nationwide man with a van network. One driver and van carry the load the whole way, no depot between. With drivers running the M1 constantly, a piece on a trip already going lands cheaper and saves the empty miles.
Over 50 vetted drivers serve the Nottingham area.
- A short M1 hop up through the East Midlands, about 40 miles
- Under an hour city to city, traffic depending
- One driver and van door to door, nothing handed over
- Cheaper on a van already running up the M1

Get a QuoteHow much does a Nottingham to Sheffield man and van cost?
A Nottingham to Sheffield man and van through Porta is one fixed price for the job, set before you book, not an hourly rate. It is about a 50 mins to 1.25 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 £50 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 £58 fixed |
| A part-load or small move A student room, a studio flat or a part-load of furniture | £312 two people, about 4 hrs incl. the drive | From £170 fixed |
* The middle column applies Checkatrade's 2026 UK averages (£64 an hour for one mover, £78 for two) to a realistic 40-mile job: loading, the under-an-hour M1 hop and unloading, with the empty return not counted. Porta's column is a fixed starting price for the route.

Nottingham to Sheffield man and van FAQs
How far is it from Nottingham to Sheffield?
Roughly 40 miles due north on the M1, between junctions 24 and 33 through the East Midlands, usually under the hour but nearer an hour and a quarter in rush hour. It runs as one straight-through trip.
How much is a Nottingham to Sheffield van and driver?
A single fixed figure settled before booking, not an hourly tally. Drivers pound this stretch of the M1 daily, so your items ride a trip already booked, keeping the price down, from £50. What is loaded and any lifting fix the rest.
Fixed or by the hour on a hop this short?
Fixed is the sensible pick. A 40-mile leg barely fills an hourly minimum, so you can end up paying for time you never use. Porta gives one figure that holds however the M1 flows.
Do you cover Sheffield to Nottingham as well?
Yes, both directions. Send the Sheffield pickup and Nottingham drop and a fixed southbound price comes back.
What can travel up to Sheffield?
Everything from one heavy item to a small flat move, the bulky things couriers pass on included. Student moves between halls and shared houses, Marketplace finds and single furniture pieces all fit the hop.
Is loading help part of it?
Yes, shared with you top and tail. Mention anything especially heavy or a Sheffield flat up several floors with no lift when you quote so the right help comes.
Can you do it same day?
Often. Being a busy short corridor, same-day and next-day slots open up regularly. A quick quote shows the live dates.
Which areas are covered?
Pickups right across Nottingham, the centre and West Bridgford through Beeston and Sherwood; drop-offs across Sheffield, the centre and Nether Edge out to Walkley and Hillsborough, with a Chesterfield call possible on the way.
Is there a Clean Air Zone cost either end?
Only the delivery end can apply. Nottingham runs a Clean Air Zone aimed at buses and taxis, not vans, so pickup is clear, and Sheffield operates a Class C charging Clean Air Zone covering vans centrally. Most platform vans meet it, and any charge sits inside your fixed price.
Room for a two or three-seater sofa?
Yes, a routine M1 load. It goes in a Luton van, worked through the doors and up the stairs at each end, Sheffield hills included. Describe the access when you quote.
Wardrobes and beds?
Yes, part-stripped for the trip and put back together on arrival. Pop the sizes on the quote. A lone big piece also suits our large item courier service.
Washing machines and fridges?
Yes. Drain and secure a washer first; leave a fridge freezer standing an hour or two before it goes back on. Both need two people, so note them. Also handled by our large item courier service.
