Our Treatment Process: Ensuring Development Projects Stay on Track
1. Site Survey & Legal Compliance Check
We conduct a detailed survey to identify Japanese knotweed and assess the impact on planning permissions, site feasibility, and construction risks. Our findings inform a legally compliant action plan, preventing potential delays, fines, or project stoppages.
2. Tailored Removal & Treatment Strategy
We develop a strategy based on site conditions, project timelines, and budget. Common approaches include:
- Herbicide Treatment – Suitable for phased developments with extended build schedules.
- Excavation & Off-Site Removal – Ideal for fast-track construction requiring immediate clearance.
- On-Site Burial – A cost-effective option for large-scale developments with available space.
3. Full Compliance & Certification
Upon completion, we provide all necessary compliance documents, including:
- Waste transfer certification for off-site disposal.
- Knotweed management reports for planning authorities.
- PCA-accredited guarantees, meeting mortgage lender and NHBC requirements.
4. Post-Treatment Monitoring & Aftercare
We offer long-term monitoring and aftercare to prevent regrowth, keeping sites ready for development without future liabilities.
