Hadley & Ottaway Limited

We moved from Somerset to Norfolk and this firm were able to move us without any added stress to a momentous change in our lives. The planning staff were helpful at every stage and were willing to hold payment when a glitch in our date for exchange of contracts slipped by one day. The removal team were hearty, helpful and knowledgeable and could easily be left to get on with the job without being intrusive and did everything to keep us calm and focused. As we moved halfway across the country of a Friday, the firm kept all of our house contents securely at their base over the weekend and delivered it all safely on the Monday.

I have used this company more than once and always found them courteous, reliable and extremely competent. The office staff are switched on and helpful and the removal men always careful, thoughtful and make light work of what must be an often difficult job. They are friendly, charming and careful, taking note of any special requests. Bringing heavy boxes and furniture to a third floor flat, up numerous stairs, never resulted in grumpy behaviour or carelessness. I hope not to have to move again but if I do this company would be top of my list.

I would 100% recommend Hadley & Ottaway to you. We had a complicated move as we had to break our chain and go into storage. Plans changed frequently, but Darren and his team always accommodated the changes with patience and understanding. I would use the over used phrase of "they when above and beyond" but they really did. We moved 6 hours away, the load from our house into storage and then to our new home was very smooth and professional. All of the delivery men were obviously happy in their work, friendly and so helpful. As I say, 100% recommended.

H&O were endorsed by our estate agents and I can see why. Every single aspect of the move was faultless. Punctual, pleasant, knowledgeable, caring, efficient and excellent value. If you need removals I strongly advise you to give Hadley and Ottaway a call. You won’t be disappointed!

Despite late changes of move date and uncertainty of when the new-build would be completed, the 3-day house move, including packing, went as smoothly as possible. From the initial contact with Darren, through the necessary admin steps, to the move itself, everything was first class. The fact that the cost was the lowest of five quotes is a welcome added bonus.

Hadley and Ottaway undertook our move very professionally, we decided to pack our selves. Hadley and Ottaway, provided the packing materials a week before the move, there was more than enough, however if we required more we were informed to let them know. On the day of the move they arrived at 0700 and started moving our items straight away. They provided wardrobe boxes on the day of the move, as they made up the boxes they gave them to my wife to load. The staff of Hadley and Ottaway were very professional and polite, they took good care of the flooring ensuring that carpets were covered both on the out and the in. They took good care of our furniture and loading the boxes. After all our items had been loaded into the vehicles the team left the property, after we had completed a thorough check to ensure nothing had been left behind. The senior member of staff provided us with his mobile phone number, so that we could contact him once all monies from the sale and purchase had gone through. Once we received the keys to our new property we contacted the member of staff to inform him. They were at the new property within 10 minutes, it only took them 2 hours to unload the two vehicles. After the move, once we had emptied all the packing boxes, we gave them a call to come and collect them, which they did within two days. It is good that they reuse as much of the packing material as possible, which saves going to landfill.

Hadley & Ottaway moved us from Essex to Norfolk. From the initial in person visit from Chris to quote for the work, we felt we were in safe hands. We were not disappointed in any aspect of the move. All of the team worked very hard, and remained friendly and cheerful throughout the three days despite challenging weather. We do not have any hesitation in recommending this company and its staff, and should we ever move again they would be our first choice. Thanks again to all at Hadley & Ottaway.

Hadley and Ottoway moved me into a two bed bungalow. They had to go in through the garage and via the narrow kitchen door. Nothing was too much trouble for them They covered the new carpet on the way in and also the door. Everything was done professionally, loading the lorry was no problem and they listened to where I wanted things put. Nice and friendly and very positive attitude. I was very pleased with their work. Everything was done to the agreed schedule and the preliminary meeting went well with good communication from the firm.

Picked up the furniture on the Friday and delivered on the Monday afternoon. Very professional and courteous. Covered the floors with mats especially in our new place with cream carpets. Every time I emailed the office to keep them updated re exchange dates, they always replied quickly. We could not fit a large removal van on the road we were moving out of so they used a smaller van to transport our goods. Excellent service and a very competitive quote. Would recommend.

A business is only as good as its weakest team of operatives . On our removal day we experienced the most appalling service from this company. Moving home is regarded as one of life's most stressful events and the low standard of service we experienced from this companies operatives just had to be seen to be believed. We are well past the date of the actual removal but some of the consequences will remain with us long term and the management team showed little concern at all. We complained to WHICH and they sent us a form relating to a construction project! That says a lot about them too.
