A three day from Fence in Lancashire to North Wootton in Norfolk. An old barn conversion to a new build property. First move in 20 years. 3 floors and a large double garage with 2 floors to clear.
 

"From the moment the Hadley and Ottaway team arrived they took all the stress out of the move. Careful consideration to wrapping and packing expensive furniture. Nothing was too much trouble. The team assisted removing difficult items e.g. plate rack. Complete professionalism and courtesy throughout. Every member of the team was brilliant. I can't sing their praises enough. Exemplary service."

We moved on a wet day to a cottage. Everything went well and all but one piece of furniture was in place very efficiently
 

"Team arrived nice and early explained how they would go about the move. Always updated us on anything necessary. Challenges of an 18th century cottage did not cause any major problems. We were very pleased with the move and service received."

We moved from a 3 bed to a 5 bed house a couple of hours away.
 

"The whole process from start to finish was brilliant . From Steve coming to do the estimate, Anna and others in customer services to Bob Terry and Harrison on the day - everyone was so professional. Our house buying and selling process had been very stressful but the removals part was the easiest part. Thank you so much all !! :)"

3 bedroom house to 3 bedroom house
 

"Some of my furniture was damaged. Furniture drawer no longer works. I wasn't made aware of this by the team. My house and stairs were left very dirty as shoes were worn and no protection put down. One of them made a joke about "Hitler being right" which was incredibly unprofessional."

   Business Reply:

When negative comments are made about our service we look into why this might have come about and if such comments made are they legitimate? Having done so we are of the opinion that the claims made are not legitimate and in fact untrue and unjust.

The customers partner moved in prior to our teams arrival using a 'man and a van' where no floor protection was used hence the dirty floors! Despite this our staff carried out the normal procedure of covering floors and front door etc. Having had the partners effects delivered meant there was very little room for my staff to place the customers effects but managed to do so with complete professionalism and without complaint!

The customer failed to reserve parking which resulted in a much longer walk for our staff thus taking much longer for the unloading to be undertaken, time which the customer was not charged for.

As for the comment made about Hitler, my staff are consummate professionals and would never use that kind of speak at a customers premises.

With regards the drawer; when one of my guys removed the drawer the ball bearings fell out which is not unusual for flat packed furniture.

Customer Review
 
The move was from a four bedroom house double garage garden shed and summer into a three bedroom bungalow with double garage.

We had very little furniture to remove but 70 boxes and 26 wardrobe boxes in the house and over 30 boxes packed in the garage plus various electric drills and saw bench and work tools
 

"Right from arrival at just after 7:00 AM for 4:00 guys Terry Chris Aston and Shaun, so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much bother for them.

The move went well and was all finished just after 12. We had to wait for the solicitors to get their act together for two hours or more. We eventually started to unload after 3:00 PM but it was all done by 6:30. They worked so hard but happy and friendly all the time. We had taken out the insurance for the late waiver They supplied all the boxes tape and paper for us to pack We would definitely recommend H &O to anyone and everyone"

Accessibility to our property is a challenge and move and pack was wrapped around a weekend. Team led by Steve were respectful hardworking and always asked when unsure. Also good to talk to and at pains to do an excellent job.
 

"Moving is renowned as being stressful and the team went out of their way to make the process as simple and efficient as possible. Steve, Lee and Harrison were a credit to the company."

Distance move, so video survey. 2 trucks 3 men over 3 days including fragile pack. All went to plan with no problems whatsoever.
 

"Recommended to us. From initial contact to survey to quote to the floating date getting confirmed, all was so helpful to us. The team of Lee, Terry and Stephen did a fantastic job with nothing left behind and nothing damaged in transit. Highly recommended."

Our move was spread over three days whereas other firms quoted for 2. We found the three days worked very well with packing on the Thursday move on the Friday and final unloading on the Monday. We found the weekend break very useful
 

"Three guys on first two days worked well together. On the final 3rd day just one staff member Sean and Ruben agency help. Throughout the three days Sean was terrific, always helpful and conscientious. Approved by Which? and recommended by Us"
