Frequently asked questions

Common questions

A few of the questions regularly asked before instruction.

Do you only deal with bailiff work?

No. While enforcement remains central to the service, UK Bailiffs also provides process serving, investigations, site security, K9 support, boarding up and related asset protection services. More broadly, we help clients identify the right route where a matter needs more than one answer.

Can enforcement and security services be provided on the same matter?

Yes. Where appropriate, enforcement capability can be combined with site protection and security measures to create a stronger and more controlled overall solution.

What types of matters do you usually deal with?

Instructions commonly involve commercial rent arrears, lease forfeiture, possession matters, traveller and trespasser removals, process serving, investigations and vulnerable site protection.

Can the approach be tailored to the circumstances?

Yes. The most effective outcome usually comes from matching the service to the property type, legal position, operational environment and practical objectives of the matter.
