One team for moving, clearing and taking away

Moving furniture well is a skill: knowing how to get a wardrobe down a narrow staircase, how to load a van so nothing shifts, and how to protect a table on the way. We Shift brings the same skills to every job, whether it is a full house move or clearing a single room.

The five services below cover what we are asked for most in South Shields. If your job is not quite any of them, call 07786 967182 and ask. Every job starts with a free quote.

House removals in South Shields

Moving house is one of the biggest jobs most people take on, and the removal is the part that has to run to time. We Shift handles full house removals and smaller part moves across South Shields and South Tyneside, from a one-bedroom flat to a family home.

We load your furniture, boxes and bags, drive them to your new home and carry everything into the rooms you want it in. Furniture travels under removal blankets, and a wrapping service is available on request for pieces that need more protection. Our vans have tail lifts, so heavy items are lifted into the van rather than dragged up a ramp.

What a house move includes

  • Loading furniture, boxes and bags
  • Removal blankets over furniture in the van
  • Wrapping on request for pieces that need it
  • Tail-lift vans for heavy and awkward items
  • Carrying everything into the rooms you choose

Worth telling us when you call

  • How big the move is: the number of rooms, or a rough list
  • Stairs, lifts or long walks at either end
  • Anything very heavy, fragile or valuable
  • The date you need, and how flexible it is

Furniture removal and single item transport

Not every move is a whole house. Single item transport is in our name: a sofa from a second-hand sale, a wardrobe going to a family member, a fridge freezer, or a dining table that needs carrying down one flight of stairs and up another. If it will not fit in your car, give us a call.

We also deliver for high street stores, so collecting, carrying and delivering bulky furniture is everyday work for us. Items travel strapped and covered in the van, and we carry them into the room where they are going rather than leaving them on the doorstep.

  • Sofas, armchairs and beds
  • Wardrobes, chests of drawers and dining tables
  • Fridges, freezers and washing machines
  • Flat-pack furniture still in its boxes
  • Furniture bought in a shop or from a private seller

Helpful to know when you book

  • Where it is being collected from and where it is going
  • Roughly how big and heavy it is, or a photo
  • Stairs, narrow hallways or tight turns
  • When it needs to arrive

House clearance in South Shields

A house clearance is often needed at a hard time: after a bereavement, when someone moves into care, or before a property is sold. If you have been searching for house clearance near me in South Shields, We Shift can clear a whole house, a flat or just the rooms you need emptied.

You tell us what is staying and what is going, and we do the carrying and loading. Anything you want to keep can be taken to another address on the same job, so the clearance and the move are handled together by one team.

What we clear

  • Furniture, beds and mattresses
  • Household contents and belongings
  • Lofts, garages and sheds
  • A single room or the whole property

Before the clearance

  • Take out anything you want to keep, or label it for us
  • Tell us about stairs, lofts and parking
  • Let us know whether the property is empty or still lived in
  • Ask about taking kept items to another address

Rubbish removal in South Shields

When something needs to go and it will not fit in the bin or the car, we can take it. Rubbish removal covers anything from one old sofa to a pile of bags from a clear-out, and our team does all of the lifting and loading.

Plenty of people find us by searching for rubbish removal near me, and most want the same thing: someone reliable who turns up when they said they would and leaves the place clear. Tell us roughly what needs to go, ideally with a photo, and we will give you a price.

Things we take away

  • Old sofas, beds and mattresses
  • Broken furniture and flat-pack offcuts
  • Bags of household rubbish from a clear-out
  • Cardboard and packaging after a move

For a quick price

  • Send a photo or a rough list
  • Say where it is: inside, in a garage or in the garden
  • Mention anything very heavy or bulky

End of tenancy clearance

When a tenancy ends, furniture, bags and rubbish are often left behind, and the property cannot be cleaned, inspected or let again until they have gone. We Shift clears rented houses and flats in South Shields for landlords, letting agents and tenants.

Tenants moving out can book us to move their own belongings and clear what they no longer want in one visit. Landlords and agents can tell us what needs clearing and arrange access, and we will empty the property ready for cleaning.
