Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica) was first introduced to the UK in the 19th century as an ornamental plant. However, its aggressive growth and invasive nature soon became a serious issue, particularly in urban areas. Over time, it has spread extensively across cities like Manchester, Birmingham, and throughout the Northwest, thriving in disturbed soil and transport corridors such as railway embankments and riverbanks.
Due to its deep and resilient root system, Japanese Knotweed removal requires specialist treatment.

I inherited a house, the estate agent said it would be easy to sell. First buyers loved it had it surveyed and found Japanese Knotweed. That was the start of my nightmare. They couldn’t get a mortgage. Two more buyers and still the same, no bank or building society would entertain it. I was given the phone number of Japanese Knotweed Plus Ltd. They came to see the property and explained everything to me. Reassured me as I was beginning to think I would never sell the house.
They came up with a management plan and as a result, I have finally sold the house. They have been brilliant, really nice guys, never pushy I would definitely recommend this company to everyone. Japanese Knotweed is an awful thing to have people don’t realise how bad it is. I am so glad this company came to my rescue.
