Why Croydon Is a Knotweed Risk Zone
Croydon has long been known as a knotweed hotspot. Its position between London and the South East, combined with intense development, has made it a breeding ground for invasive species.
Some of the highest risk zones include:
- Thornton Heath, where shared gardens make spread easy
- South Croydon, with redevelopment of older housing stock
- Brownfield areas around former garages and industrial plots
- Housing estates in Addiscombe, where planting mistakes and soil movement are common
Once established, knotweed spreads quickly underground, disrupts paving, cracks walls, and can interfere with drainage and foundations.
Why You Should Act Quickly
Property sales fall through without a plan
Many Croydon buyers use London-based lenders. They often refuse mortgages unless a treatment plan is already in place.
Development is time-sensitive
Delays from knotweed discovery can halt construction. Early excavation and documentation help keep projects on track.
Cost rises the longer you wait
Treatment is more expensive if the plant has reached walls or substructures. Early action keeps costs lower.
