    Japanese Knotweed Specialist

    Knotweed is not a job for a general gardener or a landscaper with a knapsack sprayer. It needs correct species identification, a rhizome-depth survey, certificated herbicide application or engineered excavation, and documentation a mortgage lender will accept. That is all we do.

    What makes us specialists

    Qualified, insured operatives

    City & Guilds NPTC PA1/PA6 certificated spray operatives, working to PCA-aligned standards, with £10 million public liability cover on every job.

    Specialist identification

    Japanese, giant, Bohemian and dwarf knotweed all behave differently — and half the plants we are sent photographs of turn out to be bindweed, dogwood or Russian vine. We confirm the species before anyone quotes you.

    Lender-accepted documentation

    PCA-compliant management plans and a transferable 10-year insurance-backed guarantee — the paperwork UK mortgage lenders require to release funds.

    Same-day species confirmation from photographs, surveyor on site within 48 hours across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
