Why Japanese knotweed is a problem in Newcastle upon Tyne
On Newcastle upon Tyne properties, Japanese knotweed rhizome spreads several metres underground, exploits cracks in hard standing and drains, and can stall a mortgage offer or sale. Newcastle's shipbuilding yards and colliery staithes along the River Tyne left extensive disturbed quayside and railway land where Japanese knotweed has spread along the Ouseburn valley and former industrial riverbanks.

How we treat Japanese knotweed in Newcastle upon Tyne
Treatment method
We use a three to five year stem-injection and foliar herbicide programme, or hybrid and full excavation with licensed off-site disposal where timescales are tight.
Best timing
Most effective late summer to early autumn, when the plant draws herbicide down into the rhizome.
Your legal position
Listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 — allowing it to spread to neighbouring land can bring a civil claim, and the cut material is controlled waste.
Local coverage
Newcastle upon Tyne and nearby Gosforth, Kenton, Denton Burn.
