It is now recognised that non-native species account for up to a third of the flora of some European countries. Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is an extremely abundant alien invasive plant in the UK. New plants can grow vegetatively from very small fragments of rhizome of less than an inch wide this is the main means of spread in the non-native environment. A single stand of Japanese Knotweed can occupy large areas and cause significant environmental and economic damage if it is not controlled properly.
It is a widely accepted practice to remove Japanese Knotweed at the development sites prior to the start of construction work.
The sellers of residential properties are normally requested to mention in their seller’s pack if Japanese Knotweed is present. This includes the owner’s site and adjacent area. The increasing number of mortgage lenders may reject a mortgage application if Japanese Knotweed is present and no proof of control option supported by warranty is provided from a recognised specialist.
Our team of Japanese Knotweed specialists prides themselves on maintaining high standards in the services provided to our clients. We focus all our efforts on a fast response to our clients’ enquires.

We are fair with the clients. All clients are different. All sites are different. We are try to understand in-depth the extent of the weed problem in each individual case. Our main two priorities are to reduce the cost of treatment and to achieve the highest treatment efficiency. We will be honest with the client if no treatment is required, e.g. if Japanese Knotweed is safely far away from the property site.
Japanese Knotweed legislation in the UK is getting more serious now. The number of official documents issued by British and EU Governments to combat Japanese Knotweed is increasing. It is not an offense to have Japanese Knotweed in your garden if managed properly. But failure to control the weed on your own land or spreading it in the wild could cause serious legal consequences. You can find some information about Japanese Knotweed legislation on our webpage.
