Need Help With Bamboo Removal in London?

Our Process For Removing Bamboo In London
Carried out by accredited experts, our bamboo removal process for London properties is effective for both commercial and residential buildings. The results-led process looks like this:
1. Site Survey and Bamboo Identification
A detailed site survey to assess the extent of the bamboo infestation, with our experts looking at the type of bamboo (e.g. running bamboo vs. clumping bamboo), the size, and the surrounding environment. This helps to determine the most effective and efficient method of bamboo removal.
Bamboo Survey Costs in London start from £299 + VAT, which includes a report of the findings. This survey looks at root formations, something that most ‘visual’ surveyors will neglect to do, leading to long-running re-growth issues.
2. Tailored Bamboo Removal Management Plan
A bespoke management plan to remove the bamboo in your London property, giving you a detailed breakdown of costs, what methods will be used, and when they will take place.
3. Bamboo Eradication & Removal
Once the plan is agreed to, we will begin the bamboo removal process. This can look different depending on what type of bamboo is found. Clumping Bamboo is typically a less destructive removal process as the clumping root ball will not have expanded laterally
Running Bamboo however can damage walls, paths, drives, and fences, especially in an area as densely packed as London. It may require more extensive removal due to its ability to spread further underground.
The bamboo removal and eradication methods we use are:
Excavation - We will fully remove the root ball and rhizomes, including any fragments, by digging them out. For small patches, manual removal may be enough. However, if it is a larger infestation often mechanical assistance will be required.
Herbicide - Cutting the bamboo down and then injecting or spraying the stem with a herbicide to penetrate the root system
Root Barrier - Containing the Bamboo using vertical root barrier membranes to stop it spreading
We will always conduct a thorough search of the area after removal to ensure no root is left behind or untreated.
4. Long-Term London Bamboo Removal Guarantees
Once we’ve completed the work, we are able to offer a 5- or 10-year guarantee to the land. This means that if the bamboo does grow back, we’ll come and fix it for no extra charge.
As standard, we recommend 5-year guarantees but can offer 10-year guarantees on request. Bamboo can regrow from just a fragment of root, and we don’t want you to be out of pocket when you’ve already had work done, which is why we offer such
As a market-leading knotweed removal company, our work is accredited by the Property Care Association and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, and is recognised by mortgage lenders. We work across the country and work with everyone from government agencies to private homeowners.
Why Bamboo Is Such A Problem In London and Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It
Bamboo may seem harmless, but it’s a serious issue for property owners in London due to its rapid growth and invasive nature:
1. Rapid Spread & Damage
Bamboo grows incredibly fast, spreading up to 1 metre per day. In densely packed areas like Hackney or Islington, it can quickly spread from one property to another, damaging fences, walls, and pathways.
2. Aggressive Root Systems
Bamboo’s roots can penetrate foundations, driveways, and drainage systems, causing significant structural damage. In older London properties, this can lead to expensive repairs and potential long-term issues with infrastructure.
3. Hard to Control
Once established, bamboo is difficult to remove. Its roots regenerate from even small fragments, meaning that cutting back or digging it up without the proper treatment won’t prevent it from coming back.
For property owners in London, bamboo is more than just a nuisance—its growth and spread can lead to costly damage and long-term headaches if not dealt with quickly and effectively.
