Traveller Eviction Essex

Travellers Eviction in Essex

Travellers, Squatters & Trespasser Removal Essex

Land owners and those in possession of large open commercial spaces can find themselves falling victim to unwelcome visitors occupying their land. Sadly, the traveller community are sometimes notorious for forcing entry onto land they perceive to be a good spot for them to inhabit. Before you know it, your field, car park or open space is overrun by unwanted guests.

The problem is further exacerbated by the disgusting volumes of litter and waste that builds up on the site. And the responsibility of disposing of it (when and if they leave) is yours entirely.

Travellers, Squatters & Trespasser Removal Essex

At MEC Security we’re fully qualified and highly-proficient security and eviction specialists.

We have years of experience when it comes to quick and efficient removal of travellers, squatters and trespassers. We can even install advanced deterrent and security measures afterwards to prevent these occurrences from happening again.

Regardless of whether it’s private or public land, it’s no task for our fully-trained security personnel to handle the swift eviction of uninvited guests. We make full use of Magistrates Warrants and Orders of Possession to ensure that we’re always operating within the parameters of the law when removing delinquents.

Gypsy Eviction Essex

From our past experience, we know that some illegal squatters and trespassers attempt to remain steadfast and unyielding by quoting section 6 of the Criminal Law Act 1977. It’s refreshing to see people with a knowledge of the law, but sadly for them we know it better and this “loophole” is easily circumvented as it is not wholly applicable to those who are occupying an area in which they have no claim nor authority.

Let’s be clear, we’re not a team of heavies who aggressively intimidate unauthorised occupants or forcibly remove them. We are master tacticians who employ the use of our broad and accurate understanding of the law to manage a professional eviction.

We know how to legally access land even when the undesirable occupants have created obstruction methods such as padlocks, chains or stationary vehicles.

There are no insurmountable problems when you hire MEC Security -- we can overcome any challenge to achieve a swift and permanent eviction.

If you’re a landlord who has a currently unoccupied property or you’ve inherited a home where plans are yet to be made for it, then there’s always a chance it could be targeted by squatters and those looking to vandalise and damage it.

The process of evicting squatters from your non-residential premises can be stressful, complicated and challenging. Some squatters are well-organised and are known to take advantage of groups set up to remind them of their rights, such as the Advisory Service For Squatters.

MEC Security specialises in assisting commercial and private property owners with the eviction of squatters and the provision of vacant possession. We have and continue to work closely with lawyers and the police to provide a swift and professional squatter eviction service. High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs) enable us to enforce your County Court Order by transferring it to the High Court for enforcement purposes.

Comprehensive Eviction Service In Essex

It’s understandable for land owners and landlords to feel apprehensive about confronting those who are living on their premises without their permission.

Our main aim is always to reduce the risk of things turning ugly. All of our security specialists are fully trained in the most advanced methods of behavioural management, aggression control, crowd pacification and diffusing antagonistic scenarios.

We also have demonstrable experience of court proceedings and an acute understanding of the legalities that surround the eviction processes in the UK. In short, we can help you with every single aspect of your trespass and unauthorised occupation dilemma.

Some of the areas we regularly evict from include:

  • Private land
  • Parks and play areas
  • Shopping centres
  • School playing fields
  • Leisure centres
  • Public car parks
  • Recreational grounds

Same Day Evictions
in Essex

Squatters, unscrupulous travellers and trespassers all have one thing in common -- they’re opportunists.

They start by identifying a vulnerability and then quickly take advantage of it. Once they have breached entry their advancement in occupying as much space as possible in the shortest amount of time is almost impressive. And they keep expanding and growing until they’ve fully embedded themselves into a building or site, rooting themselves in and making the removal task even more difficult.

This is why it’s so important to act immediately. The longer you delay taking action, the much larger the eviction operation will be, not to mention the increase in damage and disruption to your land or building.

MEC know the importance of decisive action and so we will respond the moment you contact us. We can reach the site on the same day you raise your concern with us and begin the eviction procedures immediately. We will also work collaboratively with local police where necessary and required.
