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.

Moved us with care and consideration

The best move we have ever had thanks to the professionalism of the kind staff. Everything was wrapped carefully and nothing was damaged but more importantly they considered our comfort and needs at every stage. The new address was not the easiest to access but it was never mentioned as a problem and didn't seem to slow them. When we had unpacked they reacted swiftly and picked up the boxes and packing material the next day. We are not moving again but if we did we would want to employ them.

Their rep came to do the home assessment for a quotation. We chose them though they were not the cheapest, because the rep was informed, polite and attentive. On our moving days everything that was promised was delivered, staff were courteous and diligent.

Thank you to firstly Caroline for her care and attention and then to two great guys Steve & Jamie for doing our house removal from Norfolk to County Durham. They were terrific. Very quick and organised. Always polite and helpful. Very patient with our problem refectory table! And after the stress, we had previously been put through they took the strain away, and we were very pleased they were able to do our removal. Very efficient and a lovely pair of guys. If you need a reliable company use them! Thank you so much.

They provided an excellent service throughout from accurately assessing the number of vehicles required both in terms of our property and logistics of pick-up and delivery along narrow lanes. Helpful staff resolving all queries promptly. High quality packing. Pick and delivery occurred exactly as planned.
