Man with a van in Portishead: what it costs
How it works round here.
Portishead, North Somerset • Man and Van
Portishead sits within the BS20 postcode, with Wyndham Way Retail Park barely two-tenths of a mile from the centre and permit parking close by, near the harbour.
Van & Driver is preparing to bring its Man with a Van service to the town, covering local moves as well as trips out to Nailsea, Clevedon and Long Ashton. Once live, each booking will include one or two people, loading and unloading, blankets and straps to protect furniture, and a fixed price agreed in advance, so there's nothing to work out on the day. The service is built around sofas, beds and wardrobes, appliances, boxes and bags, and garden or DIY items, whether that's a full house move or a single item collection. For anyone clearing space, Port Marine Self Storage sits half a mile from the centre, and Black Rock Quarry Recycling Centre on Valley Road is a short drive further out. Portishead's position, tucked along the Severn Estuary with Bristol around eight miles away, means plenty of households here need help shifting furniture between properties or out to storage. As Van & Driver extends its coverage to include the town, the plan is to offer the same straightforward approach used elsewhere: a fixed price, proper equipment, and enough hands to get heavy items moved without any fuss.

Questions people ask in Portishead
Do you cover Nailsea, Clevedon and Long Ashton too?+
Yes. Prices from Portishead to Nailsea (3.6 miles) start at £55; every nearby town has its own page with local prices.
How much is a man and van in Portishead?+
A man and a van for one item within Portishead is £55, a small load £69, a medium load £139 and a full load £349. Fixed when you book.
Do you do man with a van hire by the hour in Portishead?+
No. We price by the job, not the hour: by how much there is and the miles, fixed when you book, so it doesn’t go up if loading takes longer. Within Portishead that’s £55 for one item and £69 for a small load.
Does a man and van include help carrying?+
Yes. The driver loads and unloads with you. For heavy or bulky items such as sofas, wardrobes and fridge freezers, choose two people when you book.

Will two people come?+
When the job needs them (a sofa, a wardrobe, a fridge, or a medium load and up) two people come, and that's already in the price. We decide it from what you're moving; there's nothing to choose or pay extra for.
Is the price fixed?+
Yes. You see the whole price before you book and that's what you pay: no hourly rate, and nothing added on the day for stairs, waiting or a heavy sofa, unless what you're moving changes.
People ask
What people in Portishead type into Google, answered.
Can you dismantle a bed in Portishead?+
Taking furniture apart isn't something we price for. Put it in the dismantling notes on your booking page (say the wardrobe needs Allen keys, or the bed's already down) so the driver comes ready. Ask us on WhatsApp.

Yes, on every job, at no extra cost. Your things are strapped in before the van moves.
Can you move just one thing in Portishead?+
Yes. A single item within Portishead is from £55, an armchair or a washing machine, say; a sofa on its own is a little more, by size.

Yes, anywhere in England; the price includes the miles. A single item from Portishead to Nailsea starts at £55.
Can I give the driver a gate code or directions?+
