As a landowner, when travellers arrive on your property it can be a stressful experience. You simply want to evict them quickly and with a minimal amount of trouble. At CEA Limited, we can act immediately to evict travellers from your land.
It’s often a common misconception that you require a court order to remove an illegal encampment from private land. There is the option to go down the court route and obtain a possession order, but this is costly and time-consuming.
The quickest method for evicting travellers is to use Common Law. This enables our enforcement agents (bailiffs) to move groups of gypsies on immediately – often clearing the site on the same day we’re instructed.
Removing travellers from private land
The first stage is serve the travellers with an eviction notice. This typically gives them until the following day to leave the site of their own accord. If they don’t move within this period, then our agents will re-attend to carry out an eviction.
When our bailiffs attend the site to serve notices they will also conduct a risk assessment. This enables us to plan the necessary resources should an eviction be required.
In some instances, this is all that is needed to move the group on. However, there are cases where we will need to carry out an eviction if they haven’t left.
Evict travellers the same day
The longer traveller groups remain on your land, the more problems they can cause, including damage top your property, leaving large amounts of rubbish and causing a disturbance for customers and staff. This can be costly for the business (customers may stay away or you may need to close), so evicting travellers quickly is essential.
When the travellers have been served with an eviction notice and not left (or you require them evicting immediately) we will use Common Law to move them. This enables private landowners to instruct a bailiff to retake possession of the land.
You do not need to go to court to evict travellers. Carrying out an eviction this way reduces the time taken and the costs involved.
Instruct a certificated enforcement agent
It’s important that you utilise the services of a professional bailiff company to evict travellers. Certificated Enforcement Agents are properly trained, experienced and insured. All of our agents are provided with appropriate PPE, carry body warn cameras and will properly risk assess a site before conducting the eviction.
At CEA Limited, we have a network of fully trained agents across the country who carry out traveller evictions every day. They understand the problems that can arise on site and know how to deal with cases effectively. This ensures that traveller groups are evicted from sites quickly.
We liaise with the relevant local agencies, including the police service, to ensure illegal encampments are moved swiftly and peacefully. We can be on site within hours of being instructed and typically have the site cleared on the same day.

Quick traveller eviction in Leeds
Hello, I have a man known to the police and local authority camping on my privately owned land. The police haven’t been able to move him. Is this something you can assist with? He is lighting fires and defecating and causing issues for the tenants.
We were told we need to go to court but your website said that might not necessarily be the case.
