Introduction
Japanese Knotweed, scientifically known as Fallopia Japonica, is not your typical plant; it is a highly invasive species and an invasive weed that has caused significant damage to property and biodiversity throughout the UK.
Distinguished by its robust, bamboo-like stems and broad leaves, it can grow up to 10 cm per day during peak growth season. While its white flowers appear harmless, Japanese Knotweed’s threat lies beneath the surface. Its deep and extensive root system can penetrate concrete, foundations, and drainage systems, posing a serious threat to homes and infrastructure while lowering property values.
Japanese Knotweed’s aggressive nature means it does more than occupy space; it conquers it, outcompeting native plants and disrupting local ecosystems. This invasive plant’s rapid growth and potential for structural damage highlight the importance of expert removal and management services in controlling it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove Knotweed myself?
While it may be tempting to tackle Japanese Knotweed independently, we strongly advise against it. Removing Japanese Knotweed is both complex and regulated. Attempting self-removal often spreads the Knotweed further due to inappropriate handling or disposal, which can lead to more significant problems in the future.
Professional assistance with Japanese Knotweed removal, such as ours, operates within the PCA-certified regulations, ensuring safety and efficiency.
What will kill Japanese Knotweed?
Japanese Knotweed is notoriously resilient. Successful removal requires a combination of treatments, including herbicides and tailored techniques like excavation or Knotweed management plans. In some cases, we use root barrier techniques to prevent further spread. But do remember, what is successful in one scenario may not work in another – hence why customised solutions are so important.
You can rely on our Property Care Association certified experts to choose the most effective treatment for your particular Knotweed infestation, ensuring the utmost care of your property during this process.
Is Knotweed damaging my property?
Japanese Knotweed spreads rapidly and can exploit any weakness in a building’s structure, leading to significant damage over time. Knotweed can infiltrate cracks in patios, driveways, and even building foundations. Early detection and prompt action are paramount in preventing extensive damage. Contact our team if you suspect you have a Knotweed problem.
Can a Japanese Knotweed Infestation affect house sales?
Yes, it can. Some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on a property with a Japanese Knotweed infestation. However, having a professional Japanese Knotweed management plan, such as those provided by us at Knotweed Services (UK) Ltd, can reduce the threat and help ease property transactions. We also offer P35 expert reports that can assure lenders, buyers, and sellers.
Do you provide nationwide Japanese Knotweed Treatment?
Absolutely. At Knotweed Services (UK) Ltd, we proudly offer our services nationwide. Regardless of the location in the UK, our experts are ready to assist you with your Knotweed concerns.
