A man with a van right across Shrewsbury
Porta has vetted drivers across Shrewsbury and out through Shropshire, from the medieval loop of the Severn and the Tudor centre to Frankwell, Copthorne, Monkmoor and Harlescott, so help is rarely far. It is the nationwide man with a van service on home turf, run by drivers who know the river loop, the narrow black-and-white streets and the SY postcodes. When a driver is already heading your way, your job can share that trip, which keeps the price and the empty miles down.
Over 30 vetted Porta drivers cover Shrewsbury and the wider Shropshire.
- Covering Shrewsbury and out across Shropshire
- One vetted driver and van, no depots or handovers
- Carrying and stairs handled as part of the price

The courier dedicated to my collection was brilliant, extremely helpful and assisted greatly by trying to accommodate my delivery timetable. Much appreciated. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience, the courier Ismail kept me up to date with each collection including pictures. Was so easy and will definitely be using them again. Thank you
Great service. Driver, Rajat, was excellent. He kept us informed. The pick up and drop off were carried out with care and attention to premises and items being shipped. Would recommend.

Shrewsbury man and van FAQs
How much should a man and van in Shrewsbury cost?
With Porta it is a single fixed price for the job, agreed up front rather than charged hourly. Local meters tend to be £40 to £60 an hour on a two-hour minimum, and threading a van through the medieval loop eats into that quickly. Porta lays the whole figure out first, down to the load, the distance and whether you want help. Run a quote for yours.
What areas around Shrewsbury do you serve?
All of Shrewsbury and out across Shropshire, from the town centre and the Severn loop through Frankwell, Castlefields, Monkmoor and Belle Vue to Harlescott and Meole Brace. Add both postcodes at the quote for the closest drivers.
Is same-day man and van possible in Shrewsbury?
Yes, where a driver can get to you. Porta handles plenty of last-minute Shrewsbury jobs, the catch being availability on the day. Enter your pickup and the quote says whether same-day is live.
What can Porta shift in Shrewsbury?
Big, small and awkward alike. A wardrobe, a fridge-freezer, a sofa that will not go up the stairs, a flat's worth of boxes or a marketplace bargain across Shrewsbury: if it fits a van and needs carrying, Porta takes it.
Does someone give a hand with the lifting?
It is included. The driver loads at one end and unloads at the other with you, the bit a DIY hire never covers. If you need a two-person lift or there is no lift to a flat, put it on the quote.
What about getting the van close in Shrewsbury?
Shrewsbury's centre is the real consideration: the medieval loop of the Severn wraps a maze of narrow, partly pedestrian streets, with the English and Welsh bridges the main ways in and permit parking around the middle. Tell us about both ends when you quote and your driver will plan the loading point and the approach.
Do you charge a minimum or a call-out fee?
Neither applies. There is no joining fee, no call-out charge and no two-hour floor, only one agreed price for the move. That is the main thing separating it from a metered hourly service.
Can you move students around Shrewsbury?
Yes. University Centre Shrewsbury and the town's colleges draw students in, and a man and van suits moving between halls, shared houses and flats. Give us the pickup, the drop-off and what is going for a fixed price.
Does Shrewsbury have a Clean Air Zone charge?
No. Shrewsbury runs no charging Clean Air Zone, so there is no daily charge to drive a van through the town. Your quote is simply one fixed, upfront price for the job, with nothing to settle on the day.
