Our Process for Knotweed Removal in Oxfordshire
1. Identification & Photo Review
Not sure if it’s Japanese Knotweed? Send us a photo - we’ll confirm quickly. If needed, we’ll conduct a site visit.
2. Site Survey & Management Plan
Our PCA- and RICS-accredited surveyors assess the infestation and provide a detailed Knotweed Management Plan (KMP), including:
- Risk assessment and photographic documentation
- Recommended treatment options
- Timeline and fixed quote
- Mortgage/lender compliance details
3. Treatment & Removal Options
We tailor our approach based on the severity and urgency of your case. Our methods include:
- Herbicide Treatment: Safe and controlled chemical treatments targeting knotweed roots.
- Excavation & Removal: If required, we perform controlled excavation and proper disposal of affected soil.
- Root Barrier Installation: This technique prevents future growth by blocking the spread of the root system, particularly for larger properties.
- Sifting & Screening: This solution is used to uncover hidden knotweed fragments in soil, guaranteeing thorough eradication.
All treatments follow the PCA Code of Practice and are carried out by certified specialists.
4. Long-Term Guarantee & Aftercare
We offer 5-35 year guarantees, including insurance-backed options. Our team also provides post-treatment monitoring to ensure the knotweed doesn’t return.
As a market-leading bamboo 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 Is Knotweed a Problem in Oxfordshire?
From the historic city of Oxford to rural areas like Burford and Wantage, Japanese Knotweed can take hold anywhere. It thrives in clay-rich soil, riverbanks, and gardens, especially near:
- Victorian terraced homes in Oxford and Banbury
- New builds in Bicester and Didcot
- Older countryside properties in Chipping Norton and Thame
Left untreated, knotweed can:
- Break through paving, walls, and pipes
- Spread into neighbouring properties
- Delay sales, mortgages, and planning applications
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Japanese Knotweed on Your Property
1. Property Damage & Legal Risk
Knotweed can cause physical damage and result in nuisance disputes with neighbours if it crosses boundaries.
2. Mortgage & Insurance Issues
Lenders often decline mortgage applications on affected properties without a management plan in place.
3. Long-Term Costs
The longer you leave it, the more expensive and difficult it becomes to treat. Early action saves time and money.
