Japanese Knotweed Specialists in Leeds
TP knotweed are the country’s leading authority on the identification, removal and elimination of Japanese knotweed. The weed is especially threatening because of its hardy nature; home attempts to remove it are largely ineffective and often lead to further spread of the plant, which re-grows quickly from clippings as small as two millimetres.
Japanese knotweed is fast-growing and resilient. Its ability to grow indiscriminately through rock, concrete and brick makes it especially damaging to residential and commercial properties, and road infrastructure. The presence of knotweed on your premises can have far-reaching impacts on everything from your house price to mortgage rates. In some instances, buyers have been denied mortgages on the grounds of knotweed infestations.

Japanese Knotweed Removal Leeds
Japanese knotweed has an incredibly robust plant structure, allowing it to grow in almost any environment. This is largely why the removal of Japanese knotweed is so difficult.
With its ability to tolerate low temperatures, it can rapidly spread through any gaps in structures like bricks or concrete. By choosing a trusted Japanese knotweed removal specialist in Leeds, you can ensure your infestation is removed permanently, and avoid the cost of knotweed damage in future.
Japanese Knotweed Removal Cost in Leeds
There is no one fixed Japanese knotweed removal cost, as this depends on the treatment plan and extent of your infestation.
Our careful and methodical treatment of Japanese knotweed using appropriate chemicals and dosages over time allow for successful control of the Japanese knotweed, as well as prevent it from spreading. We offer a 100% guarantee that our herbicide treatment programmes will prevent any future above ground growth. However, this treatment method does not guarantee that the underground rhizomes will be removed.
Excavation involves digging up the entire root system, and is the only method which allows Japanese knotweed to be removed fully and permanently. It’s important for works to be carried out by experts such as TPK knotweed, to ensure complete removal, as a minute piece of rhizome has the ability to regrow and lead to spreading.
