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.

They turned up on time and started the job of packing in a professional way. They were very helpful and friendly in all they did. They took a lot of the stress out of the day. At the other end they did not mind having to wait for me to get the keys. I recommend them to anybody moving home. The price they charged was less than I thought it might be.

The guys from Hadley & Ottaway moved our belongings from Papworth Everard to Witney as agreed. They turned up bang on time and got down to loading up right away. Everything went as promised and we were on our way in 2 hours from arrival. The guys worked impressively hard and took great care to ensure that our furniture etc was properly taken care of. They were helpful all the way throughout and we couldn't have wished for a better bunch. The same at the other end when unloading in Witney. Just a really good hassle free experience and not expensive either. They made us feel comfortable from start to finish. We highly recommend them and wish to thank them for making the day as uncomplicated as possible. Just goes to show you get what you pay for. Smartly dressed, pleasant and friendly and very efficient. What else is there to say? If you are looking for a brilliant removal company this is the one to go for

We have moved on several occasions and have experienced extremely poor service from British Association of Removals firms in the past. This was by far the best removable company we have ever used. Courteous, professional and a personal service we just can't fault. Would highly recommend.

I was very pleased with my experience with Hadley & Ottaway. All the way through from the quote stage to completion of the job everything happened just as they said it would. Moving is a very stressful time and anything that can help reduce the stress is welcomed and they certainly did that for me. They delivered ample boxes in plenty of time for us to pack. Our home was uplifted on time and arrived at the other end unscathed and we had enough time to unpack before they arranged collection of the boxes. All the staff were very helpful right the way through too. I couldn't ask for any more.

We have moved several times over the years however we have never had such excellent service. The removal men were friendly, professional and very kind. The whole move was organised really well and the company made it as least stressful as possible. The men were polite and always attentive. Each item was carried in with care and placed in the correct room or place. Our move lasted for 2 days but it was made to seem relatively effortless. We are still impressed. We can totally recommend this company. They collected our boxes after the move and as usual arrived on time and were totally polite and pleasant.

From first contact to quotation visit, to carrying out the removals. Hadley & Ottaway were friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. We needed some flexibility over how many boxes vs larger items and this was no problem. I'm sure you may be able to find cheaper but when you consider your valuables being transported, knowing they will all get there in one piece is more important!
