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.

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.

The weakest link
Customer Service
Quality
Value
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.

Brilliant Service!

We had lived in the same house for 46 years, so moving was emotionally and physically quite a big deal for us. Our son had worked for Hadley and Ottaway when he was a student, so we knew the company proved good staff training and maintained high standards. I can honestly say that the team surpassed our expectations. They were very efficient, helpful, flexible and had a good sense of humour which made the whole thing far less stressful than we had anticipated. Highly recommended!

I can't recommend this removals company highly enough, from start to finish the service they provided was absolutely exceptional. Thanks to Chris you were so friendly and helpful when you visited to provide the quote, I can't praise you highly enough same goes to Kerrie, Darren and all the team. Thanks also to the team on move day you were absolute professionals nothing was too much, you helped reduce stress and couldn't have been more helpful. Bunce, Shaun and Mark you all amazed us I again can't praise you all highly enough, I know we wouldn't have managed without you and I highly recommend to all.

We cannot praise this company and its staff too highly. Ours was a substantial move (approx 200 boxes) and H&O handled it well; on schedule and without hassle. They are professional, methodical, careful and cheerful. Moving is stressful, but H&O's people reduced the pressure! The men who carried out the move were a joy to work with; thorough, considerate and good-humoured. They did a great job for us, and we would certainly use H&O again.

Second Norfolk Move

We first used Hadley and Ottoway in May 2017, when they moved us from Downham Market to Watton. This time we moved from Watton to Little Fransham, so went straight to Hadley and Ottoway as they had provided an excellent service previously. They emptied out our old house very quickly, and then there was a wait until the keys were available in the new house. They waited without complaint, and finished the job off very quickly once we could get into the house. I would recommend them, and would use them again should the occasion arise.

Amazing Team

I would highly recommend Hadley & Ottaway. From start to finish they were nothing but professional and their team of lads on the day of the move were just fabulous and put us at ease and actually made the move a really enjoyable experience. Having moved ourselves 4 times in the previous 2 years we know what hard, back braking work it is, so we were very happy for someone else to do it this time and so appreciative of them. Nothing was too much trouble and they took great care of our possessions and before they left even asked if we wanted anything moving from any of the rooms to somewhere else. Just brilliant, wish we had used them the previous 4 times! Amazing Team - Thank you.

We have used 3 other Norfolk based removals firms in recent years with a poor experience each time. When the first representative of Hadley & Ottaway came to quote for the work we both felt confident they would do a good job without any damage etc. So when the quote came in at significantly less than some of the others we jumped at the chance to give them a try. They provided loads of boxes and packing for free, the team who helped us move were very polite, friendly and helpful and it all went like clockwork. After we had finished unpacking they even came and collected all the boxes and packing from us as well. We will definetely be using H&O next time we move

I used Hadley and Ottoway 22 years ago when we moved into our bungalow and wanted to use them again for this move. They did an excellent job, have no complaints. The whole thing was well organised and after we moved they came and took the boxes away. Really pleased with them and would recommend.
