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.

From the office staff, the surveyor to the removal team, everyone was friendly, efficient, prompt and obliging. Would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

The team arrived promptly in livery. They gave us their utmost and were organised and thorough. Precious items were bubble-wrapped. Not one item from any of the boxes was chipped, damaged or scratched. Timing was perfect thanks to extreme vigilance and hard work of all concerned. Everything Hadley & Ottaway had promised was delivered.

Good provision of packing cartons at the right time. Very good wading of the van over the two days. Prompt arrival at new home, prompt collection of emptied packing cartons, very good value for money.

Outstanding service from 1st enquiry until last item moved!! Employees were careful considerate polite & extremely respectful when handling our possessions. This was the 4th move in 4 years completed by Hadley & Ottoway and we have never had any reason to be unhappy with service.
