Unauthorised encampments can affect a wide range of sites across South Wales, from agricultural land and industrial estates to commercial premises and development projects. When land is occupied without permission, swift and professional action is essential to minimise disruption and regain control.
West Country Bailiffs provides experienced traveller and trespasser removal services throughout South Wales, helping landowners, businesses and organisations resolve unauthorised occupation through lawful and effective enforcement.
With more than 30 years of experience, our team understands the challenges that these situations present and the importance of acting quickly and professionally.
Supporting Landowners Across South Wales
South Wales combines major urban areas with extensive rural land, creating a wide variety of locations that can be vulnerable to unauthorised encampments.
We regularly assist clients with issues affecting:
- Commercial and industrial land
- Construction and infrastructure projects
- Agricultural and rural property
- Storage compounds and business parks
- Vacant land awaiting development
- Private car parks and open land
Every situation is different, which is why we assess each case individually and recommend the most appropriate course of action.
Fast and Professional Response
Unauthorised occupation can disrupt businesses, delay projects and create security concerns. In many cases, taking early action can help prevent matters from escalating.
Our enforcement officers provide:
- Prompt attendance
- Practical advice
- Professional engagement with occupants
- Lawful enforcement procedures
- Ongoing support for landowners
Where appropriate, early intervention can encourage voluntary departure and reduce the need for lengthy legal proceedings.
Understanding the Available Legal Routes
Several options may be available depending on the circumstances of the occupation.
These can include:
Common Law Eviction
In certain cases, landowners may be able to rely on common law rights to recover possession. This process must always be handled carefully to ensure compliance with the law.
Possession Proceedings
Where court involvement is necessary, possession proceedings provide a clear and structured route for recovering land.
Interim Possession Orders
For recently occupied sites, an accelerated legal process may be available, allowing landowners to regain possession more quickly.
Choosing the correct route from the outset is essential. Our guide on how to remove travellers from private land quickly and lawfully explains these options in greater detail.

- Waste clearance costs

Professional enforcement ensures that matters are addressed efficiently and helps minimise the impact on normal operations.
Securing Land After Removal
Once possession has been restored, preventative measures should be considered to reduce the likelihood of repeat incidents.
Common recommendations include:

A proactive approach can significantly reduce the risk of future unauthorised occupation.
