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.

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!

The initial survey was professional and the advice was very helpful. Their moving pack was helpful to us. Once agreed on both sides with quotation, boxes and packing material came in time for us to pack. On day of moving the removal team were on time and all protection was put on doors etc, and dust sheets put down. They bubble wrapped the TV, Mirror and Leather chairs. Completed on time ready to go to new property. Unloaded in good time with no breakages. A job well done. No hurry to collect boxes when emptied. A truly professional company with great teams to carry out the work. I would recommend to anyone.

The best moving team we have ever had

A great moving experience from initial quotation to the moving day. We have moved quite a few times and the team that helped us on move day were perfect from start to finish. They turned up at the time quoted and set to work straight away, from start to finish everyone was very helpful, efficient and courteous. I'm sure that for most people moving day is a slightly stressful affair so to have such a good team working with you is incredibly good news. We were even contacted at the right time to arrange collection of the boxes and used wrapping materials. Should we move again we will definitely plan to use Hadley & Ottaway.

Our move from a large house to a larger one spanned 3 days and required considerable planning.Throughout the process we were advised and supported by everyone we had contact with at Hadley&Ottaway, calls were always returned and nothing was left in doubt, which took a lot of the stress away from us.Really there is nothing I could say about our move that could be improved on, H & O know what they are doing so listen to their advice and follow it.For the service we received I also think H & O are reasonable on cost, the insured packing service for breakables is worth having. I would not hesitate to recommend Hadley and Ottaway or use them again in future.
