If you have Japanese Knotweed in Berkshire beware! Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is one of the UK’s top invasive plants. This is because it spreads quickly using its underground rhizome system and can cause:
– Damage to patios, walls, foundations and drainage systems
– Delays in development and planning approvals
– Difficulty obtaining mortgages or selling your property
– Legal liability if it encroaches onto neighbouring land
If you suspect knotweed, send us clear photos. We offer fast, free identification —usually within 24 hours.

All plans include:

Ongoing inspection to catch regrowth and ensure full eradication
Our PCA qualified surveyor will survey the site and be able to identify if you have Japanese Knotweed growing on your land. If you do have Japanese Knotweed growing, we will then be able to produce a detailed site survey report. This report will include the location of the Japanese knotweed, any damage that it has caused, and any risks involved.
Following the site survey report, a Management Plan is generally produced as this outlines the method of treatments that will be used to eradicate Japanese Knotweed. It will also detail advice on how to prevent it from spreading as well as the costs involved in the eradication of Japanese Knotweed.
