Japanese Knotweed treatment in Essex: No Other Companies Have Our Track Record

As one of the most reputable Japanese knotweed removal companies in Essex, Knotweed Services strives to provide effective treatment services for all weeds that infest your yard.

Knotweed Services is a PCA member, a government-approved trade body for “the damp, waterproofing, wood preservation and invasive weeds industries.” If you have a knotweed problem, we’ll take care of it for you.

We have used our expertise in knotweed eradication to complete a number of challenging projects in and around Essex and England. To eradicate Japanese Knotweed, experienced identification, surveying, treatment, and control must take place due to its invasive nature and resilient root system. We can help.

Overview of Japanese Knotweed

Homeowners, investors, and commercial property owners are affected by Japanese Knotweed. If you’re a homeowner, your lender probably won’t lend against a property with an infestation.

Suppose you own a commercial building or property, and Japanese Knotweed is present. In that case, your project may be delayed until your infestation is being dealt with correctly and legally.

Our Expertise in Japanese Knotweed Removal

At Knotweed Services, we specialise in the removal of Japanese Knotweed. This highly invasive and destructive plant can cause significant damage to properties and gardens. Our team of experts has years of experience in identifying and eradicating Japanese Knotweed, and we use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure effective removal. We understand the importance of removing Japanese Knotweed quickly and efficiently, as it can spread rapidly and cause costly damage to buildings, roads, and other structures.

Our expertise in Japanese knotweed removal includes:

Identifying and assessing the extent of Japanese knotweed infestation
Developing effective removal plans tailored to each property’s specific needs
Using specialised equipment and techniques to remove Japanese Knotweed and its roots
Providing ongoing monitoring and maintenance to prevent re-growth

With our comprehensive approach, you can trust that your property will be free from this invasive weed, ensuring peace of mind and protection for the future.

Troubles Japanese Knotweed Can Cause

Japanese Knotweed, an invasive plant, can grow through tarmac and concrete, which poses a threat to the structure of your building or property. Japanese Knotweed can prevent mortgage lenders from granting loans. Knotweed obstructs paths, highways, and other infrastructure with large, dense patches. The weed is a particular problem for commercial properties—both in terms of dealing with the plants themselves and the access that is blocked by them.

For customers in Essex with Japanese Knotweed, we should be your first call. We’ll ensure that the Knotweed is removed in its entirety and pass along our insurance-backed guarantee (available upon request) against reinfection.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL Essex

As Japanese knotweed infestations vary considerably, so do treatments for Japanese knotweed removal. One method of Japanese knotweed removal may not be enough to eliminate the plant. We also specialise in invasive weed removal, targeting problematic plants like Japanese Knotweed and Giant Hogweed.

We take a scientific approach to weed control. Our weed specialists examine a site’s specific factors to determine the type of treatments that will give the best results. In addition to Japanese Knotweed, we are experts in identifying and eradicating other invasive weeds from both residential and commercial properties. We guarantee all our work.

— JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN Essex

FOLIAR SPRAYING *

The most common treatment is the spraying of powerful chemicals with a knapsack. We ensure that other plants are not damaged. The most effective time for foliar spraying is in Spring.

FOLIAR LEAF WIPING *

With this Japanese knotweed treatment, our chemicals are “physically wiped” into the leaves of the Japanese Knotweed using a device. This application is so accurate that we can frequently employ a greater chemical concentration.

STEM INJECTION

We apply a controlled amount of herbicide directly into the invasive weed. Due to being injected directly into the Japanese Knotweed, this is the most crafty method of removal. It isn’t dependent on the weather.

BIOMASS REDUCTION

Biomass reduction is a form of excavation and removal. However, instead of extracting all of the soil impacted by Japanese Knotweed, we only remove the infested parts of the soil. It’s an excellent Japanese Knotweed control method that allows the reuse of the soil—reducing the use of landfills.

CROWN REMOVAL

Crown and stems are capable of regeneration, and even minute fragments of the clipped crown or stem are capable of regeneration and producing a new invasive weed — eliminating these components is a beautiful technique.

SOIL SCREENING

A tried-and-true system that has been utilised on hundreds of sites across the UK.

The Japanese knotweed rhizome material is removed from the soil material using the screening procedure. The Japanese knotweed debris is then either transferred to a licenced landfill at a substantially reduced disposal rate or burnt on-site using an Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales D6 exemption.

The cleaned soils can subsequently be used elsewhere, mainly in soft landscaping areas where they will not interfere with construction.

Due to fewer vehicle transfers to the landfill, this can significantly minimise landfill and backfill expenses while also helping to reduce the carbon footprint on site.

BIOSECURITY SUPERVISION

We can send a biosecurity operator to your property to monitor any excavations or movement of Japanese knotweed-containing soil.

As part of these steps, we can set up a location near the site’s entrance where people can wash their boots and machines. We will supply the primary contractor on site with all toolbox discussions, which will be signed by all contractors involved in the operation.

In situations where biosecurity is necessary, we may provide temporary geotextile barriers.

We will supply the client with a thorough biosecurity report once the service is concluded.

This procedure can be used in conjunction with other on-site treatment methods.

EXCAVATION AND DISPOSAL

This treatment method is ideal where time constraints are present, and there’s no other option other than to remove both the Japanese Knotweed and contaminated soil to a registered landfill.

Removing all traces of the infestation quickly offers a rapid solution to your problem and allows your commercial project to begin groundwork almost straight away. When time is of the essence, there is no quicker Japanese Knotweed removal/treatment method.

Any waste taken off-site will be done so with a licensed waste carrier to a suitably authorised landfill site.

CELL BURIAL

Cell burial comprises moving knotweed-contaminated soil from one location on site and burying it in an excavated pit which is lined with a root barrier membrane in a different position on the site.

The burial requirements for Japanese Knotweed are as follows:

The Environment Agency recommends that the top of the burial cell should be a minimum of 2 metres below ground level.
The overall depth of the burial pit should be in excess of 5 metres deep. All root barrier seams are welded together, forming an encapsulated cell from which the Japanese Knotweed cannot escape. Clean soil is then used to backfill on top of the cell.
To prevent accidental disturbance of the burial site, it is recorded on all site plans, and future landowners should be made aware of the location.

STOCKPILE & TREAT

Bunding is the method of relocating contaminated Japanese Knotweed soil to a different area of the site being treated. A bund is a shallow area of the contaminated soil, typically 0.5m deep.

The purpose of the bund is to move the Japanese Knotweed to an area of the site that is not used. This ‘buys time’ for treatment that would not be possible where the Japanese Knotweed was initially located.

To make the surface flush with the surroundings, the bund can either be lifted, placed on top of the land, or positioned inside an excavation.

For the surface of the bund to be flush with the surroundings, it can be raised, placed on top of the ground, or positioned inside an excavation.

HERBICIDE APPLICATION

At Knotweed Services we can provide the client with bespoke treatment plans depending on the locations of the Japanese Knotweed.

These plans can work in conjunction with other methods of treatment where access is limited to pedestrian movements, i.e., embankments or existing pathways within a site.

This will normally consist of up to 3 visits per annum to apply herbicide by either foliar spray technique or stem injection during the growing season over a period of 3 years, with a monitoring period of 2 years after that.

We would select the appropriate herbicides depending on the surrounding foliage or environmental constraints.

After each visit a full treatment record would be provided with photos showing the progress of the works and then an annual report.

Mortgage Issues and Japanese Knotweed

Japanese Knotweed can be a significant obstacle for property owners looking to sell or mortgage their property. Many lenders will not provide mortgages for properties infested with Japanese Knotweed, and it can also affect property valuation. At Knotweed Services, we understand the impact that Japanese Knotweed can have on property transactions and offer specialised services to help resolve these issues.

Our team can provide:

Expert identification and assessment of Japanese knotweed infestation
Development of effective removal plans to satisfy lender requirements
Ongoing monitoring and maintenance to prevent re-growth and ensure compliance with lender regulations
