Do you work with housing associations and local authorities?
Yes. Daley & Co deliver decant, mutual exchange and rehousing programmes for housing associations and local authorities across the North West, including scheduled volume programmes and short-notice emergency moves. We work to framework requirements, provide DBS-checked crews where a tenancy involves vulnerable residents, and report at programme level rather than move by move.

Working with Housing Associations and Local Authorities
Daley & Co has established relationships with housing associations and local authorities across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and the wider North West. We understand the procurement processes, framework requirements, and service standards expected by social housing providers. Our service is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing processes — from initial referral through to completion reporting. We can work under framework agreements, provide consistent pricing for budgeting purposes, and deliver auditable service records for your compliance requirements. Our current housing association clients include providers managing portfolios ranging from 2,000 to 30,000 homes.
Supporting Vulnerable and Elderly Residents
Many of the residents we move through housing association contracts are elderly, disabled, or otherwise vulnerable. Our crews are specifically trained to approach these moves with patience, empathy, and understanding. We take time to explain what is happening at each stage, allow residents to direct the placement of their belongings, and ensure they are comfortable and settled before we leave. For residents with mobility issues, we can arrange furniture placement to ensure accessibility. For residents with cognitive impairments, we work with support workers and family members to ensure the move is as stress-free as possible. All crew members working on social housing moves hold current DBS checks and have completed safeguarding awareness training.
Void Clearance and Property Turnaround
When a social housing property is vacated, it often requires clearance before it can be re-let. Daley & Co provides comprehensive void clearance services including the removal of all furniture, white goods, and personal belongings left in the property. We sort items for recycling, donation to charity, and responsible disposal in compliance with waste regulations. For properties requiring deep cleaning or minor repairs before re-letting, we can coordinate with your maintenance contractors to ensure a rapid turnaround. Our void clearance service helps housing associations minimise void periods and return properties to lettable condition as quickly as possible.
Decant Moves and Emergency Relocations
Housing associations sometimes need to relocate tenants temporarily (decant moves) while properties undergo major works, or permanently in cases of structural issues, flooding, or fire damage. Daley & Co provides responsive decant move services that can be mobilised at short notice. We understand the sensitivity of these situations — residents may be anxious, upset, or confused about why they are being moved. Our crews are trained to handle these situations with compassion and professionalism. We can store belongings securely during works and return them when the property is ready, or facilitate permanent moves to new accommodation. Emergency moves can typically be arranged within 24–48 hours.
