What makes Japanese knotweed so damaging to properties
Japanese knotweed is one of the most aggressive invasive plants in the UK, capable of growing through concrete, tarmac, and building foundations. This fast-spreading plant can reduce property values, prevent mortgage approvals, and cause thousands of pounds in structural damage if left untreated. The roots can extend up to three metres deep and seven metres horizontally, making DIY removal almost impossible and often illegal without proper licensing.

Our comprehensive knotweed eradication service
We deliver complete Japanese knotweed solutions tailored to your property’s specific situation. Our service begins with a detailed site survey to map the full extent of the infestation and assess any damage already caused. We then create a management plan using herbicide treatment programmes or physical excavation methods, depending on your timeline and budget. Every project includes proper documentation for legal compliance, insurance claims, and property transactions, giving you complete peace of mind that the problem is being handled correctly.

Frequently asked questions
Contact Anglian Land Services today to discuss your needs. We’re happy to offer free advice, site visits, and no-obligation quotes.
Treatment timescales vary depending on the method chosen - herbicide programmes typically take 2-3 growing seasons to fully eradicate the plant, whilst complete excavation can clear the site within days if you need immediate results.
DIY removal is strongly discouraged because improper handling can spread the infestation and you may break environmental laws by disposing of it incorrectly - even tiny fragments of root or stem can regenerate into new plants.
Costs depend on the size of the infestation, chosen treatment method, and site accessibility, but we provide free surveys and transparent quotations with no hidden charges before any work begins.
When treated by qualified professionals using approved methods, Japanese knotweed can be completely eradicated - we provide guarantees with our service and conduct follow-up monitoring to ensure it does not return.
