Our story

A family that knows badgers

Three generations, one North London family, and more than twenty years spent quietly sorting out the borough's badger troubles.

It started in 2004 with Derek "Del" Bramble, a spade, a battered Transit van, and a neighbour in East Barnet whose vegetable patch had been turned inside out overnight.

Del had spent years working the land around North London and knew badgers better than most. Word got round. One dug-up garden became five, five became a street, and before long "the badger fella from Barnet" was the name people passed to their neighbours over the fence.

Twenty years on, BadgersRntUs is still the same family firm, just with a bigger van and two more Brambles on the books. Del's son Charlie learned the trade at his dad's elbow, and daughter Nina runs the office, the licences and the bit where we actually call you back when we say we will.

We have never advertised on the telly and we never will. Nearly every job we do comes from a recommendation, which is exactly how a family business should work. We turn up when we say we will, we tell you the truth about what is going on under your garden, and we leave the place tidier than we found it.

Above all, we do it the right way. Badgers are a protected species, and we are proud to be one of the North London firms that only ever uses humane, lawful methods. Getting rid of the problem should never mean harming the animal, and with us it never does.

2004Where it began

Del Bramble takes on his first badger job in East Barnet. The Transit van is officially in business.

Nina takes over the licensing and office, and we bring in our written 12-month proofing guarantee.

2024Twenty years on

Over 4,000 North London gardens sorted, and still every job comes with a Bramble on site.
