Japanese Knotweed Specialists in Liverpool

TP Knotweed are the country’s leading experts on the identification, removal and removal of Japanese knotweed and other invasive plant species. Known infamously as Britain’s most invasive weed, Japanese knotweed can be found almost anywhere across the country.

Even cooler northern climates are not free from the weed, which grows notoriously fast through brick, stone, even concrete with costly consequences.

Japanese knotweed is infamously hardy, its bamboo-like shoots capable of forcing their way through rock, brick, concrete and metal piping. Built-up urban areas like Liverpool are therefore particularly susceptible to knotweed impacts, which can include water or gas leaks, property damage and weakened infrastructures. Repairs can be costly, never mind the economic impact that reduced property prices and refused mortgages can have on inner-city communities.

Japanese Knotweed Removal Liverpool

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 Liverpool, you can ensure your infestation is removed permanently, and avoid the cost of knotweed damage in future.

Japanese Knotweed Removal Cost in Liverpool

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.
