We pride ourselves on the fact that the majority of our business comes from the personal recommendation of satisfied former customers. All our local and long distance work is quoted on a fixed price quote, we would recommend this and we would send an estimator to your premises to carry out a free, no obligation assessment and quotation. If you require, we are able to provide cartons, transit robes, bubble wrap, tape and packing paper for your removal. All removal prices quoted or charged are plus VAT. Unless otherwise stated the price we quote on an hourly basis or as a fixed price provides the customer with a vehicle and a two man crew. If you feel that you would like to use extra men on your move we can arrange this for you. Likewise, if we feel your request demands more manpower we shall quote accordingly.

Moving made easier

Moving made easier! The Mr Shifter teams worked tirelessly for our move ensuring it was as smooth and painless as possible. The teams were so helpful, polite and friendly and I would definitely recommend Mr Shifter to my friends and family when moving house! This is the 3rd time I’ve used them and would definitely be my ‘go to’ removals should I move again! Highly recommended

First Stop - Mr Shifter

We previously hired Mr Shifter for our daughter to be moved as an urgent requirement meaning everything had to go into storage. The guys who came along and packed everything up were amazing then a couple of months down the line they unloaded the stored household items into the new house.
From this excellent experience Mr Shifter was booked again this time moving my elderly parents to their new home. There was some challenging pieces of furniture to move and the guys were extremely patient, understanding and very caring towards elderly needs. All I can say is I would be reluctant to use any other removals company than Mr Shifter. They have been brilliant from the beginning to the end. Great team work!

Stress Free Happy Move

I moved from the Wirral to North Yorkshire in August. The staff at Mr Shifter were amazing, from the initial enquiry and quoting, through to the move. Nothing was too much for them, giving advice and delivering boxes/packing within a day. The two men on removal day were great - they made an emotional move fun, light-hearted and stress free. I can't thank Mr Shifter enough and would recommend to anyone.

Would highly recommend this company

Would highly recommend this company. Was dealt with efficiently with the quote and they were always quick to reply. Especially as we didn’t get a date to move 2 weeks prior of our actual moving date. Our stuff was looked after and nothing was damaged. The two lads who done our move were spot on. Can’t fault them.

Super professional and the lads onsite worked so hard! Mr Shifter have moved two offices for us now, including a lot of expensive IT hardware, and they've done a great job both times.

Mr Shifter = top job!

Had a great experience using Mr Shifter Removals, from the very beginning contact to the job being completed.
Absolutely no pressure to use their services, they carried out a video consultation (due to our location) and gave us a reasonable quote. So very pleased we went with them in the end.
They loaded us up in good time and were a pleasure to have around for the day, at the other end (the following day), they unloaded us quickly, with the help of a few extra team members - it was a Friday afternoon after all!, all whilst taking great care of our belongings. The company name got a few giggles as well!
We’ve no plans to move again any time soon, however, I would happily recommend them to others. Thanks once again for all your hard work!
