How It Works
From first enquiry to final guarantee, a transparent four-step process that satisfies lenders, planners and buyers alike.
1. Enquiry
Tell us about your property and any knotweed concerns through our online form. We respond within one business day to confirm coverage, indicative timescales and the next steps.
2. Site Survey
A qualified specialist visits the property, identifies and measures every knotweed stand, photographs the infestation and documents any encroachment from neighbouring land. The full RICS-aligned report is delivered within 5 working days.
3. Management Plan & Quote
Based on the survey, you receive a written invasive species management plan, a fixed quote and a clear visit schedule. The plan satisfies mortgage lenders, planning officers and any buyer's solicitor.
4. Treatment & Monitoring
Approved contractors deliver the treatment programme, typically 3 to 5 growing seasons of herbicide, or rapid excavation where time is critical. Insurance-backed guarantees of 5 or 10 years follow on completion.
Realistic timescales
For most London property owners, the survey and management plan are complete within two weeks. Herbicide treatment runs across three to five growing seasons; excavation is usually completed in one to three days on site. The insurance-backed guarantee remains valid for 5 or 10 years and transfers automatically to any future owner.
What you can expect from us
Honest method comparison, fixed-price written quotes, scheduled visits with photographic progress reports, and a single point of contact throughout the programme. You will never be pressured into excavation when herbicide will do, and you will never receive a quote that is not justified line-by-line.
What we expect from you
Reasonable site access during agreed visit windows, prompt sharing of any neighbour communications about encroachment, and 24-hour exclusion of treated areas immediately after each herbicide application. That is the full extent of homeowner involvement.
Compliance and paperwork
Every step generates documentation aligned to the RICS knotweed assessment framework, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014. The full paperwork pack is handed over on completion and is what restores the property's full mortgageability.
