Understanding the challenges of Japanese Knotweed

Japanese knotweed is renowned for its rapid growth and invasive roots, which can penetrate tough surfaces, causing significant property damage and devaluation.

Detecting Japanese knotweed can create obstacles in property transactions, with many lenders refusing loans for affected properties, even if it stems from neighboring land. This often leads to delays in property sales until treatment goes ahead.

How to spot Japanese knotweed in Surrey

With a proven track record of addressing Japanese Knotweed across Surrey, from Camberley to Horley, our team of specialists are equipped with expertise in identifying and treating this distinctive plant. Recognisable by its hollow, bamboo-like stems speckled with pink-red dots, and shield-shaped leaves, knotweed typically grows in clumps, reaching heights of up to 3 meters.

During its blooming season from August to October, you’ll notice clusters of tiny, white flowers. In winter, the plant enters dormancy although tall brown canes from dead plants may be left behind. Nevertheless, the knotweed’s resilient rhizomes ensure yearly regrowth.
