Traveller Evictions

Do you have an unauthorised traveller camp on your land? Our Traveller Evictions service gives you a fast, effective, legal solution to removing travellers, Gypsies, squatters, and ‘New Age travellers’ from your property. 

For immediate assistance with traveller evictions, call us on 0345 366 0000.

If your land has become illegally occupied by travellers or squatters, our Certificated Enforcement Officers can help. As experts in traveller evictions, we can help you repossess your land quickly, while complying with the law. As a landowner, you have a common law right to remove trespassers from your property – however this is not something the police can help with, as it is a civil matter. traveller-eviction

We understand the complexities involved with evicting members of the travelling community and do so promptly, without jeopardising your reputation.

In most cases, we can usually clear land the same day of serving an eviction notice, or work to an agenda to suit your needs. Don’t wait for the travellers to settle in, cause damage, or bring additional people to their encampment. Act now and we can get started straight away.

Traveller Evictions - Get in Touch

Quick and legal eviction process

We offer a fully legal process that helps you avoid time-consuming court proceedings, allowing normal business operation to resume with minimal disruption.

For private landowners, we typically act under Common Law which allows us to reclaim your land without going through court. Our nationwide team will serve an eviction notice to the trespassers and normally have the land cleared the same day of your instruction. Our Certificated Enforcement officers are trained in Conflict Management should it be needed, to ensure any situation can be quickly resolved and the land returned.

For larger scale operations, we have a dedicated Public Order Enforcement Team, who are specially trained in dealing with contentious issues, always on hand for your peace of mind.

We also operate on behalf of local authorities utilising Section 77 of the Local Authorities Act, or CPR Rule 55, Writ of Possession.

How Much Does it Cost to Evict Travellers?

This will depend on the type of intervention needed. In some cases, process serving may be all that’s required. In others, specially trained officers may need to intervene. How many days of work is needed will also affect costs. For these services, different agencies may charge you anything between £150-£500 pounds.

Testimonials

Many thanks from myself and Eurotunnel for your prompt and efficient removal of these persons and their vehicles. I will not hesitate to use your services should it be needed again. The police and my colleagues were very impressed with the efficiency and professional attitude of your officers.” – Robert Gregory, Eurotunnel

I wanted to thank all at Able for the assistance on the property in Old Market earlier this year. Your advice was excellent at all times. We have never had problems with squatters before and hope we will never again. If we did so we would be using your company again and more than happy to recommend you to anyone else. – The Vassall Centre

Absolutely brilliant (traveller eviction) service. Couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Thank you for helping over the weekend too, an absolutely amazing service. – Clare Orme, Fradley & Streethay Parish Council

Protect yourself as well as your land

Many landowners are concerned about violence and aggression when it comes to evicting traveller, Gypsies, or other squatters. The law allows for ‘no more force than is reasonably necessary’, but determining the level of reasonable force is difficult, and excessive force could lead to a claim being made against the landowner.

We always recommend that you opt for professional traveller evictions, with Certified Enforcement Officers. Not only are they trained and able to identify what constitutes reasonable force, they are also able to handle a situation with violent or aggressive squatters. If the situation escalates, knowing you have trained officers on site makes the whole process less stressful for you. As some encampments can include dozens of travellers, as well as their vehicles and animals, having professionals on your side tends to be safer. Our job is to keep the situation under control while we legally and effectively remove the travellers from your property.

Post-eviction advice

Once you have been through the eviction process, you need to protect your property from the travellers coming back and setting up another encampment. We have extensive experience in what happens immediately after an eviction, and can support you with expert advice on measures such as embankments, fencing, entry restrictions, and gating, among other options.
