Our Process for Removing Japanese Knotweed in Manchester
We understand that every Japanese Knotweed infestation in Manchester is unique, and that’s why our removal approach is tailored to suit your specific needs. Below is an outline of our process, which ensures effective and lasting results:
1. Knotweed Photo Identification
The first step is to identify the presence of Japanese Knotweed. Upload a clear photo of the plant, and our team will identify whether it’s knotweed, allowing us to move forward with the next steps.
2. Site Survey & Assessment
After confirming the presence of knotweed, we conduct a detailed survey on your Manchester property. We assess the extent of the infestation and its potential impact, then provide you with a comprehensive report and a personalized treatment plan.
3. Bespoke Management Plan & Guarantee
Following the site survey, you’ll receive a tailored Knotweed Management Plan that includes:
- A detailed risk assessment
- A clear, transparent quote
- Treatment plan with timelines
All our plans comply with the Knotweed Code of Practice and come with varying long-term guarantees. We’re PCA accredited and offer optional GPI insurance for additional peace of mind.
4. Treatment & Eradication
Depending on the severity of the infestation, we’ll implement the most suitable treatment method for your Manchester property, including:
- Herbicide Treatment: Safe, controlled chemical treatments targeting knotweed roots.
- Excavation & Removal: If required, we will perform controlled excavation and proper disposal of affected soil.
- Root Barrier Installation: A cost-effective solution that prevents future growth by blocking the spread of the root system, particularly for larger properties.
- Sifting & Screening: This technique is used to uncover hidden knotweed fragments in soil, ensuring thorough eradication.
5. Ongoing Monitoring
After the treatment, we’ll continue to monitor the site for several years, ensuring that Japanese Knotweed does not reappear. Our long-term guarantees ensure that your property remains safe from future infestations.
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 Is Japanese Knotweed a Big Problem in Manchester?
Manchester, with its mix of urban and suburban areas, is especially vulnerable to the spread of Japanese Knotweed. The dense housing developments, roads, and drainage systems create the perfect environment for this invasive plant to spread rapidly. Japanese Knotweed’s underground rhizomes can extend up to 7 meters, and a small fragment can start a whole new infestation.
In particular, areas like Salford, Oldham, and Stockport are prone to severe infestations, with Knotweed causing damage to properties, roads, and even utility services. Left untreated, it can lead to costly repairs, impact property value, and cause disruption to infrastructure.
Why You Can’t Let Japanese Knotweed Spread in Your Manchester Property
Ignoring Japanese Knotweed can lead to severe consequences in both residential and commercial properties across Manchester.
1. Property Damage & Legal Risks
Knotweed can cause significant damage to foundations, walls, and drainage systems. In densely populated areas like Manchester city center and surrounding suburbs, this can result in expensive repairs, lower property value, and legal complications.
2. Infrastructure & Environmental Impact
The roots of Japanese Knotweed can damage roads, pavements, and underground utilities, posing a risk to Manchester’s infrastructure. The plant’s rapid growth can also disrupt local ecosystems and outcompete native species, leading to broader environmental concerns.
3. Increased Costs & Long-Term Stress
Delaying removal can lead to more expensive and complicated removal processes in the future. Act now to minimize costs, reduce stress, and protect your property from long-term damage.
