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.

We paid for 2 lorries & 4 men to move our house & garage & garden contents. They were extremely polite, helpful and worked hard all day. They covered all doors and radiators to avoid damage. Nothing was too much trouble. What could have been a stressful day was totally avoided. I would definitely recommend them. This is the second time I have used Hadley & Ottaway.

Initial impressions were that the move had been completed in a 1st class manner! Minor issues developed subsequently whereby items had been packed loosely e.g. boxes of screws in garage.

From initial enquiry to collecting empty boxes after the move Hadley & Ottaway provided a friendly, courteous and professional service. The removal team worked tirelessly and always with good humour. Everything went according to plan and nothing was damaged. I would have no hesitation in using them again and recommending them to others.

Luke and Eusebio were efficient, friendly and very helpful. They kept to their schedule, were swift but, amazingly, with no breakages. Top men, what more need I say.
