Mr Shifter
Based in York, North Yorkshire, Mr Shifter was established in 2003 by the current owner Paul Eckart who oversees and participates in all aspects of the business. We understand how stressful moving house can be and it is our aim to make your move as stress-free as possible. We have vehicles that are capable of handling any size of move, be it large or small, and all moves are treated in the same caring, friendly and reliable way.

Where possible, we strongly recommend visiting you before your move, to see what needs moving before we quote a price. In the majority of moves, we give a fixed price for the whole job. In certain circumstances, such as a small move, we charge by the hour for either a two-man crew, or can offer an hourly rate for one man if this helps your budget.
Services
House clearances don't need to be stressful if they're carefully managed. We at Mr Shifter offer a caring, fast, friendly and efficient property clearance. We have you, the customer in mind at all times and are hard working, honest and above all respectful to the customer and the sentimental items we are clearing.
Mr Shifter specialise in door to door removals and are dedicated to making the transition to your new home or commercial premises as easy and as stress-free as possible. Our team are steeped in experience, with all the professionalism and expertise required to help you, wherever you are moving to. We pride ourselves on delivering fantastic customer service, along with a wealth of knowledge that enables us to make your move as smooth as possible.
The Mr Shifter team can clear most types of items from furniture and electrical appliances, to refurbishment waste and garden refuse, to large fixtures and fittings. You name it - we shift it! We can clear the rubbish, junk and waste from anywhere on your property. Whether it is your home, loft, cellar, garage, storage unit or indeed your garden that you need clearing, our dedicated team can do the job for you.
When you book a man and van with Mr Shifter, you will get one of our reliable and dedicated drivers with the skills, experience and knowledge of the UK needed to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible. Hiring a man and van offers a fast, affordable solution when your car is too small.
In our opinion, one of the most time consuming and tedious parts of moving house has to be the packing and unpacking of items. Why not shirk this responsibility, and allow Mr Shifter to do this for you? Our packaging team have vast experience, and understand the importance of ensuring your items are packed well to ensure safe delivery.

Excellent service. Rang at last minute due to an early move date and was able to help with no questions. Paul and Tony were very thorough, careful and quick. Asked for an extra pick up for additional furniture and was happy to oblige. Couldn’t recommend enough. Will definitely use again when required.

Used Mr Shifter back in May for a move in York. Great service, turning up on time for the quotation visit and on the day of the move. Paul's organisation in loading his van as required was very impressive. Friendly and hardworking, good value for money and would definitely recommend them.

Fantastic service 100% professional and efficient. The guys are very hard working and just dont stop all day!! They are flexible, reliable and maby most importantly very careful! They have over 20 years experience between them and it shows when you watch them pack the trucks and carefully manoeuvre large furniture around a tight house! I can't say enough good things about these guys and their service. I 100% recommend!!!
