What our customers say
I had a really positive experience with Porta! I only booked them two days in advance and they collected, delivered and assembled a very large sofa, it was smooth sailing! Also very reasonably priced 🙂
Got a very good service from this company. It was very fast and so easy from door to door. The driver was very helpful and communicated everything smoothly and on time.
Brilliant service and so cost effective. Would have cost me more to rent a car plus time to drive there and back. New coffee table delivered to my door in under an hour. Staff were friendly and able to amend my booking

Swindon man and van FAQs
What will a man with a van in Swindon set me back?
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, so even a small job climbs once loading and the drive across town are in. Porta lays the whole figure out first, down to the load, the distance and whether you want help. Run a quote for yours.
Where in Swindon do your drivers cover?
All of Swindon and out across Wiltshire, from Old Town and the centre through Gorse Hill, Park North, Walcot and West Swindon to Stratton, Wroughton and Highworth. Add both postcodes at the quote for the closest drivers.
Do you take short-notice jobs in Swindon?
Usually possible. If a suitable driver is close to your Swindon pickup, same-day or short-notice work is on. Availability shifts through the day, so the quote screen is the place to check what is open right now.
What kind of loads do you handle in Swindon?
From a lone armchair to a small Swindon flat. Beds, sofas, dining sets, appliances, garden bits and second-hand buys are all routine; the heavier and more awkward it is, the more a man and van beats a standard courier.
Do I have to do the carrying myself?
Always. Lifting, carrying and loading come as standard, unlike hiring a van where it is all on you. Tell us about heavy items or awkward stairs when you quote and the right level of help is sent.
Any parking issues to know about in Swindon?
Tell us about both ends when you quote. Swindon has the pedestrianised centre around Regent Street, the tight streets and hills of Old Town, and the railway-village terraces with permit parking, so a central or Old Town pickup can need a loading spot sorted. Flag any permit bays, stairs or tight access and your driver plans the approach.
Are there any booking or call-out fees?
No to both. Porta does not run a call-out fee or a two-hour minimum; the price is set for the job, not the clock. A short local hop is priced as a short local hop.
Do you take on student moves in Swindon?
Yes. Swindon does not have a large university of its own, but with New College and students moving to and from nearby university towns, a man and van suits any move between halls, shared houses and flats. Tell us the pickup, the drop-off and what is going for a fixed price.
Is there a Clean Air Zone charge in Swindon?
No. Swindon 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.
