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 removal company

Hadley & Ottaway have moved us twice the most recent being 2nd February. In addition, we have also used their storage facility. We had some difficult times before completing our new house purchase on the 2nd February and during that time Hadley staff were so supportive and flexible. Could not recommend this company high enough.

Staff from Hadley and Ottaway were with us for 3 days, packing up some of our belongings to go into storage, packing up and then moving us with the rest. From the minute we made contact with Hadley and Ottaway for a quote, to the day they came back to collect empty boxes from our new home the service was outstanding. So professional in everything they do. The lads that were with us for the three days were knowledgeable, professional and fun. The move went so smoothly and made what could have been a stressful few days into a calm and happy experience. Our possessions were treated with respect from the valuable antiques to the cutlery! Would so very highly recommend Hadley and Ottaway.

The team at Hadley and Ottoway delivered outstanding service from beginning to end of my house move. They were in constant communication with me and the process was simple and smooth from first booking the move date, to the consultant coming to give a quotation, through to the house move day. On move out day, the team were professional, polite, friendly and communicative throughout, in fact they were joy to have with us all day! After the move I received an email to make sure the move had taken place well and all was fine. I would definitely recommend Hadley and Ottoway to anyone moving house.

Prior to our move on the 11th October we had an estimator arrive to assess the quantity of the move. In the lead up to the move 90 boxes duly arrived for us to pack! On the day of the move we were greeted by the two man team who worked efficiently through the packing and loading process: this included the careful packing of our china and glassware. The two man team were both courteous and professional throughout. They advised that it would be approximately two and a half hour journey to our destination. After this two and a half hour journey to our destination they still maintained their professional and courteous approach regarding the unloading of our possessions. We could not fault their diligence and hard work during the course of the move to our new home. We would happily recommend Hadley & Ottaway to anyone seeking to move house.

I used Hadley and Ottaway for my recent move, but I had used them before and had found them to provide an excellent, competitively priced service. Again, they were prompt, efficient, very careful and extremely polite and considerate throughout the whole move. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone wanting a top notch removals company.

Moving house is certainly stressful but H&O provided a great service and reassurance when worrying about parking and labelling. We had the full packing service and absolutely everything got packed! The guys were great in terms of labelling - we had hundreds of books but they labelled every room and bookcase they came from. Very helpful at the other end too putting things in the right rooms. Would 100% recommend them.

From start to finish the process of moving house with Hadley & Ottaway was a good one. They worked hard with me to accommodate changing dates, a difficult and complicated move and access problems to my new house. The team in the office were excellent and I felt that the quote was fair given the level of service I received. The team of removal guys were without exception just brilliant. Calm, efficient, friendly and careful with everything they handled. I have moved over 20 times in my life and this was one of the most well ordered and efficient moves I have ever had. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

They arrived on the day, took instructions comprehensively but were prepared to ask questions and seek clarification during the course of loading. At the other end they unpacked efficiently, locating all packages where we wanted and also went the extra mile when asked rearranging loads when asked. Nothing was too much trouble.

This company did everything expected of a professional removal company. The staff were hardworking, efficient and courteous . Their timekeeping was good and they kept us informed at all times about how the move was progressing. The company also followed up afterwards to make sure everything was satisfactory.

Hadley & Ottaway packed us and moved us. They arrived at the agreed time on both days, and worked very efficiently. They were polite and endlessly helpful. We had no casualties or breakages in the move. Everything was carefully wrapped and sensibly packed, so it was easy to find things once we were in our new house. We’d used Hadley & Ottaway for a previous move, and would have no hesitation in recommending them. I would say we’d use them again ourselves, but we are most definitely never moving again!
