I can’t now get my property back through formal eviction?

I originally allowed my ex-sister-in-law to use my property I was refurbishing as she became homeless with her children. Now I can’t get her out and need help.
She has refused me access to the premises for the last 18 months and systematically destroyed the interior.
I finally had the spare cash to go through a formal eviction (Section 21 pre 30/04), which she has defended. On top of this, she has also called on environmental health, who have slapped me with a huge list of required fixes.
Whilst environmental health is sympathetic to my issues, I still have to show I’m willing to do the fixes.
Now the tenant is demanding names, details and public liability certificates for anyone I take to the property to do the fixes.
Can she do this?
