About
Since 1928 Hadley & Ottaway has been a household name for removals, and in particular removals in Norwich. With 90 years experience, carrying out careful shipping, removals and storage services for some of the most discerning clients. No job is too big or too small for our team of expert removals staff.
At Hadley & Ottaway, everyone cares about your move. Many of the removals and office staff have been with the company for years and really understand just how important it is for removal companies to make sure that everything goes smoothly with your relocation. Our experience means that we can make moving home or office as seamless as possible, relieving you of any stress or worry during the moving period.
Our head office is based in the East Anglia region - this is the centre of operations as there is a dedicated training room, where new recruits and 'old hands' learn to pack delicate porcelain, barometers, grandfather clocks and pianos.

An excellent moving experience.

Before moving house we sought prices from a number of local firms and based on the initial experience of the assessment visit and price, we chose Hadley & Ottaway to move us from Watton to West Norfolk. Hadley & Ottaway were absolutely superb throughout. Pre-move queries were answered promptly and cheerfully and on the morning of our move, the crew arrived at the agreed time. The crew were polite and took good care of our property, working methodically to load the lorry in good time. Unfortunately, there was a delay in receiving our house keys which meant the crew couldn't start to unload until almost 4 pm - but this was dealt with calmly by them as just a part of the job. Not one item was damaged during the move and the crew unloaded every item to exactly where we asked it to be placed. This really was a 1st class service in every way and we are happy to recommend Hadley & Ottaway.

We found this company by looking at their reviews and a suggestion by the vendors. We cannot express how thankful we are for the outstanding work and attitude of the two crews who loaded our entire household and unloaded us at the destination especially given the delays in completion of the sale and purchase.

We moved from Scotland to Norwich, put our belongings in Hadley and Ottaway’s store, and then had everything uplifted into our new home about 7 weeks later. They were a great company to deal with, all the team members we met were friendly and polite, and worked really hard, especially the duo that came to us in Scotland and packed our stuff. A pleasure to have in the house. The staff who do the admin at HQ are super organised and efficient. I certainly recommend getting H&O to do the packing - don’t even think of doing it yourself! It made moving out of our home a really stress-free experience. I couldn’t believe how calm and ordered it was. Possibly you can get a cheaper removal quote from another company, but for service at a time when you really need reliability and dependability, I wouldn’t hesitate to use H&O again.

Hadley & Ottaway provided our moving service when we moved house. They stood out from the time we asked for a quote as professional, thorough and trustworthy. The price included provision of boxes and moving difficult items such as our hot tub. We did have cheaper quotes but as these did not include boxes or moving specialist items, the price would have been comparative but would have required using multiple suppliers. We were really impressed with the guys who moved us from packing to moving in. They made the moving process relatively easy and nothing was too much trouble. I don’t normally leave public reviews but I think their service deserves it and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Moving in Lockdown 2

I was really afraid that my move might not be able to go ahead. But apart from observing social distancing etc., everything seemed entirely normal. I had been moved by Hadley and Ottaway before and knew they set a very high standard. And this move was certainly excellent. They were outside my house at 7.30 am on the dot. Everything was efficiently handled and all four men were pleasant and polite and good at what they were doing. At the other end, they were equally on top of things. And the whole experience was quick and great. I should add that I had a baby grand piano amongst my belongings and that was my main reason for going with this firm as they have a lot of experience with pianos. They took the piano apart and moved it carefully without any fuss at all and set it all up again swiftly the other end. Really things could not have gone better.

Moved us with care and consideration

The best move we have ever had thanks to the professionalism of the kind staff. Everything was wrapped carefully and nothing was damaged but more importantly they considered our comfort and needs at every stage. The new address was not the easiest to access but it was never mentioned as a problem and didn't seem to slow them. When we had unpacked they reacted swiftly and picked up the boxes and packing material the next day. We are not moving again but if we did we would want to employ them.

Their rep came to do the home assessment for a quotation. We chose them though they were not the cheapest, because the rep was informed, polite and attentive. On our moving days everything that was promised was delivered, staff were courteous and diligent.

Thank you to firstly Caroline for her care and attention and then to two great guys Steve & Jamie for doing our house removal from Norfolk to County Durham. They were terrific. Very quick and organised. Always polite and helpful. Very patient with our problem refectory table! And after the stress, we had previously been put through they took the strain away, and we were very pleased they were able to do our removal. Very efficient and a lovely pair of guys. If you need a reliable company use them! Thank you so much.
