Although only a local move this was the first time in over 40 years we had moved so we were somewhat apprehensive.

Lee, Tom and Luke were excellent, going above and beyond to make the experience as painless as possible.

Thank you to them and the Hadley and Ottaway team.

Packing and moving from two bed semi detached to 4 bed detached.

We the owners had a mix of bulky furniture computer hardware and fragile items. Also had to empty a garden shed.

We moved on the 6th hottest day in UK history.
 

"We were incredibly impressed by the high standards of work and professionalism shown by the Hadley and Ottaway team.

There was uncertainty about our exchange date and Hadley and Ottaway were exceptionally understanding and flexible!

The weather made the move particularly challenging but the team were exceptional. We can't commend them enough. They showed great care towards us and our belongings.

Will recommend."

Move into store, then 7 months later into a home 184 miles away. Awkward access, managed extremely well.
 

"Fabulous service from start to finish. Great customer support on the phone. Easy monthly invoicing by email.

Removal men all delightful, helpful, kind gentlemen.
They were clean, efficient and hard working. Valuable items packed with great care"

The move was from a six bedroom to a four bedroom house and a distance of just half a mile and involved two large vehicles.

The challenge was to bring largish heavy furniture from a 3rd floor and to transport a huge number of garden pots and plants.
 

"The crew arrived promptly were very courteous and respected our property and the items being moved.

They wrapped items with extreme care and nothing that we have unpacked was damaged.

Our move was completed ahead of schedule.

We are extremely pleased with Hadley and Ottaway and would highly recommend the firm."

2 days packing and 1 unloading.

I was shocked to find that they sleep in the lorries as was not made aware although did not bother us and meant timelines were flexible.
 

"Steve and the team were courteous, extremely hardworking and motivated.

Nothing was a problem to them and they made things seem easy despite temperatures reaching 30 to 39 degrees.

I was very worried about their lack of hats in this weather which, as a health and safety consultant, is something I would expect such an amazing company to provide their staff."

Team also had to collect fridge freezer from an alternate address and negotiate our steep driveway at our new property. The extra work was appreciated.
 

"The move was made over two days, including two vans and five staff, as shown plus Terry.

All were polite, superhelpful, respectful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.

They worked very hard in hot weather and for long hours. Highly recommended.

Also want to thank Darren, Kate, Sian and Anna for exceptional service.

Second time we have used Hadley and Ottaway"

Moving into a curacy house tied with housing. There wasn't a great distance but it was significant for us!
 

"This move was fantastic!

From the sales and support meeting with Chris to the packing and moving day with Steve, Jensen and Harrison - even the box collection service has been wonderful.

The attention to detail hard work care and great communication made it a fabulous move. Will definitely be calling for them next time!"

"We were downsizing after 40 years and didn't realise just how much stuff particularly clothes and furniture we had.

These guys had the patience of Job and treated us octogenarians with great respect.

Great company with great staff and ethics."

Arrived on time, quickly put down protective coverings and loaded.

Some heavy garden pots were handled with ease. All loaded in less than three hours.

Unloading and placement of house contents was handled very well. Again about three hours.
 

"Highly professional staff"

Task Specific: Move items from one room, boxed up and placed elsewhere within the home.

Lots of books, files, papers and furniture items relocated.
 

"The team worked very hard and conscientiously. Boxes were clearly marked and all carpets were protected during the moving of items.

Happy customer"

Bringing 7 crates from storage to Hunstanton and delivering them there and subsequently at Ringsted.

Oganised perfectly. Such a smooth operation.
 

"First class service from everyone. Special shout out to Jordan and Sean. Sean has been an ever present over a three move marathon.

So grateful to Hadley and Ottaway for everything. So accommodating patient and calm. Nothing too much.

Office agreed to change a plan at 24 hours notice without any grumbles or sighs."

Turned up promptly, no challenges to mention. All very smartly turned out in uniform.
 

"We have used Hadley and Ottaway on numerous occasions and have never had any issues. Always helpful and get back to you if there is a query.

The gangs used on removals are always helpful smart and clean and get the job done efficiently.

Jordan we have had on a couple of times and he also done the quote on this move. Real pleasant person who explained everything."

The move went well. It was well organised and planned.

When the new house was found not being cleaned as promised, the moverst especially Tomt thought along and was accommodative on the solutions.
 

"Throughout the move there was clear communication both to the team of movers and to us.

Even though the move happened on very hot weather the team kept their manners and displayed a professional behaviour.

We highly appreciate how the move was executed by both teams on Tuesday and Wednesday and the professional communication in written as well as oral form."
