Japanese Knotweed has been growing in Middlewich for many years and the council have recognised it is becoming an increasingly difficult issue to tackle. What can you do if you fear you may have Japanese Knotweed growing on your property? How does the eradication of Japanese Knotweed in Middlewich work?
If you require informal identification of a suspected plant on your property, you can email your picture to [email protected], where we will be able to identify what the plant in question is.
From this, you may require a site survey to ensure that you have a detailed report in which we outline exactly what the plant is. This could prevent any discrepancies in the future where you may be required to prove the authenticity of the plant. This may be due to you selling or re-mortgaging your home.
If you do have Japanese Knotweed growing on your property, we would then recommend a management plan with your survey to ensure that you are protected against any issues which may arise with regards to liability of treatment and devaluation.
The treatment of knotweed is extremely specific and requires a tailored treatment plant depending on the age of the weed, the depth on the rhizomes and volume of the weed. Following a survey from our surveyors, who are Certified Surveyors of Japanese knotweed (CSJK), a treatment plan is put in to place and a decision is made on if the knotweed requires excavating, spraying with chemicals, or burning.
