Was recommended by my daughter who used mr shifter last year and said they did a great job and were great lads. She wasn't wrong, they were so helpful, went above and beyond and I would definitely reccomend to anyone who wants a hassle free move (or as hassle free as a move can be!) Thanks Mr Shifter!

Kev and Mick did our move in Monday (24th May). I have to say, they were great, it can be a very stressful time but they made it easy and I felt we had such a good craic, they were like mates by the end of the day. a real credit to Mr Shifter. The whole process from contacting through estimate to actual moving was excellent and easy. I would recommend Mr Shifter to anyone.
