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.

Very efficient, friendly at a very stressful time

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.

Fantastic job

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.

Before moving house we sought prices from a number of local firms and based on the initial experience of the assessment visit and price, we chose Hadley & Ottaway to move us from Watton to West Norfolk. Hadley & Ottaway were absolutely superb throughout. Pre-move queries were answered promptly and cheerfully and on the morning of our move, the crew arrived at the agreed time. The crew were polite and took good care of our property, working methodically to load the lorry in good time. Unfortunately, there was a delay in receiving our house keys which meant the crew couldn't start to unload until almost 4 pm - but this was dealt with calmly by them as just a part of the job. Not one item was damaged during the move and the crew unloaded every item to exactly where we asked it to be placed. This really was a 1st class service in every way and we are happy to recommend Hadley & Ottaway.

We found this company by looking at their reviews and a suggestion by the vendors. We cannot express how thankful we are for the outstanding work and attitude of the two crews who loaded our entire household and unloaded us at the destination especially given the delays in completion of the sale and purchase.
