Due to home renovations we removed our furniture into storage with Mr Shifter for 5 months. Collection went smoothly, the team arriving promptly, furniture collected carefully, cheerful practical and friendly team. All items removed recorded. Return of items was simply a matter of a phone call, select a date and the team returned as requested, delivering the furniture efficiently and speedily wherever we directed, checking off the list along the way. All in all a seamless service. Thank you.

the best in the business

The whole process from booking to email of quotation and supply of packaging materials was quick and efficient. The lads came promptly on the day and did a fantastic job of carefully moving everything across for us. I would highly recommend these guys!

Mr Shifter were excellent from start to finish. They handled all of my furniture with great care and attention, especially my wooden pieces, making sure everything was properly wrapped and prepared for storage. The team were professional, efficient, and reliable, which made the whole process so much easier. I would happily recommend them.

Moving house is so challenging

Moving house is so challenging - so we were really pleased with the suggestions made by the Mr Shifter team. Knowing it was going to be several weeks 'between homes' we arranged to put our furniture into storage with Mr Shifter. Making arrangements to have our furniture removed from one house, stored and transported to our new property was very straightforward. Both teams from Mr Shifter were professional, so hard working and cheerful as they made sure our possessions were safe and secure throughout the removal process.

Pleasure to deal with from my first call to safely moving us to our new house. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, courteous, respectful, helpful and understanding even when they had to wait 2 hours for the new house keys. They unloaded the van in super fast time, taking every box and furniture to exactly where we wanted it. Highly recommended eases stress when moving.

Fab removal company

Fab removal company. Fit us in quickly as we had a last minute completion date. Very competitively priced. The lads on both days were great. Hard working, helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We had a late key handover, the lads never complained, just got on with it and made sure we were in. They made a very stressful couple of days go as smoothly as possible. Can’t recommend them enough.

Fantastic service

The men arrived on time and just got on with the removal, making sure anything delicate or could get scratched was protected in the van. They met us at the property and even offered to keep our things in storage as we had an issue moving in. Very happy with the service

Amazing experience, staff and price

Wow, what an amazing company and team of people. They were wonderful and helpful in a hard time and got my stuff out and into storage and supported me on the day.
Following that, they were super helpful on delivering my stuff to my home 6 months later and were genuinely happy for me!
Great company who are more than competitively priced but who also try to work to your budget where they can.
I didn’t have to left anything. Thank you for helping me!

What a fantastic team

What a fantastic team. They came and quoted, did the packing exactly as needed and were quick and efficient. Most of all they were so nice about everything. They are even coming to take the boxes back when we have emptied them. Fantastic company.

Amazing removal company

Amazing removal company!

Following the intial home survey, which was smooth and easy. As we were moving from a single track remote property it gave us the peace of mind on access and parking of the vans etc. Plus meant we were certain there would be no last minute issues.

We had a last minute completion on our house move. Rang Mr Shifter on Wednesday, and they were with us Thursday and house emptied by Thursday afternoon all ready for the move in Friday morning.

The unload was just as smooth and very professionally handled.

Wouldn't recommend anyone else, very professional and looked after all our needs and property through the process.
