Traveller Eviction & Trespasser Removal
Same Day Brighton Response

The eviction can take some time depending upon various factors: resolve of the travellers, resources available, police support, numbers of travellers, any extenuating circumstances.

We generally aim to give them no more than 2 or 3 hours, but sometimes an eviction can be several hours. The situations often are very fluid and really rely upon the experience and skill set of lead bailiff negotiating with the travellers to leave as quick as possible. It also depends upon their behaviour.

The team turn up, give them a couple of hours to pack up and find another site then if they are refusing to leave and cannot negotiate a reasonable time for their departure, they would liaise with you about various escalations and the risks involved with each.

We are successful about 95% of the time evicting under the common law method where that is applicable and 100% of the time if evicting under a High Court Writ of Possession. Sometimes due to Police support or safety issues we cannot complete immediately but if we fail, we can always recommend other options including the Writ of Possession.

This is not something we could get involved in as officers of the court and will usually make you a regular target for further future incursions.

They can use powers granted under The Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Act 2022, but do not usually use them only in extreme circumstances. The trespassers actions must fit a certain set of circumstances which is down to the interpretation of the police.

Yes, but only if you have the necessary, training, skill set, experience and insurance in place, but we would obviously not recommend this. Our team is led by an Authorised High Court Enforcement Officer with over 30 years of experience in this field, we are fully insured, and staff have the required training.

The risk assessment must be carried out under The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 Section 2.2. That gives employers a duty of care to both their actual employees and any sub-contractors by providing adequate information, instruction, training and supervision as required.

Our Health and Safety officer has an IOSH qualification and a Level 4 Diploma in High Court Enforcement that includes eviction so is a fit and proper person to carry this out for our staff.

If your health and safety officer has that level of qualification and experience, then of course we can discuss that however we would still need to send someone to do reconnaissance so we can formulate plan of action.

No unless they are locked in or there is some other reason but once we have completed the risk assessment, we can advise you on that.

We have employers liability, professional indemnity and public liability insurance that cover us for these tasks. Copies of which can be sent to you.

We charge from £350 plus vat to come out and carry out a risk assessment and serve notice, from there we are able to determine a cost for the service which we would quote and agree with you before commencement.

We are an enforcement company and like all enforcement companies do not have tow trucks of our own nor are we insured to use them. We operate as service where we can act as your agent and arrange one on your behalf to attend. If we know one in your area, we could recommend one or of course you can choose the company you want us to book on your behalf.

We however do not recommend turning up with one at first as that can escalate the problem from the start and cause a very aggressive reaction.

We have been in business since 2009 and our director have been in this industry for well over 20 years some 30 years. We are Authorised High Court Enforcement Officers and contractors to over 20 Local authorities as well Government departments and lots of blue-chip companies.
