Our Process for Knotweed Removal in Leeds
1. Identification & Photo Review
Not sure if it’s knotweed? Upload a photo and our experts will confirm it quickly. In-person surveys are available throughout Leeds.
2. Site Survey & Management Plan
A trained surveyor will assess the infestation and create a Knotweed Management Plan that includes:
- Risk assessment and photographic evidence
- Lender-ready documentation
- Recommended treatment schedule and cost
3. Treatment & Removal Options
We tailor our approach to your site conditions, from sloped gardens to construction zones. Our options include:
- Herbicide treatment (spraying and stem injection)
- Excavation & removal (including waste-compliant disposal)
- Sifting & screening (for heavily affected soil)
- Root barrier installation to prevent future growth
All treatments meet PCA Code of Practice and are carried out by certified professionals.
4. Long-Term Guarantee & Aftercare
We offer 5-, 10-, and 35-year guarantees, with optional GPI insurance. These are widely accepted by mortgage lenders across Yorkshire and the UK.
As a market-leading knotweed removal company, our work is accredited by the Property Care Association and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, and is recognised by mortgage lenders. We work across the country and work with everyone from government agencies to private homeowners.
Why Knotweed Is a Real Issue in Leeds
Leeds has the perfect conditions for knotweed to thrive. It’s common along railway lines, canal paths, and old industrial ground now repurposed for housing.
Common hotspots include:
- Holbeck and Armley with their mix of older terraced properties and redevelopment zones
- Chapel Allerton and Beeston, where knotweed spreads quickly through shared gardens and boundary fences
- Headingley and Hyde Park, where short-term tenants may overlook early signs of infestation
Knotweed spreads underground, damages surfaces, and can reduce property value.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Japanese Knotweed on Your Property
1. Mortgage Delays in Leeds
Lenders may deny applications or require a professional treatment plan before release of funds.
2. Neighbour Disputes
In closely packed housing areas like Chapel Allerton or Beeston, unmanaged spread can result in legal claims.
3. Rising Costs
Delaying treatment often means moving from herbicide plans to excavation, which is significantly more expensive.
