Japanese Knotweed Removal in Rochdale

It is not illegal to grow Japanese knotweed in your garden, however, if you allow it to then grow on to your neighbour’s garden this is classed as encroachment. Encroachment of Japanese knotweed on to a neighbouring property can mean they sue you as this is a civil issue not a criminal issue.

Japanese Knotweed in Rochdale

Removal of Japanese Knotweed in Rochdale:

Cases have ranged from just over £10,000 to in excess of £200,000. In this particular case we were called out and survey the property, it was immediately clear that the Japanese knotweed had encroached from our client’s garden into the neighbouring garden. 

 

In this particular case both parties were amicable and were both happy to pay for eradication of the Japanese knotweed in their respective gardens in Rochdale near Manchester. To keep the cost down were able to carry out one survey and recommend a single “Management plan” that covered both properties. Additionally, we were able to purchase one Insurance backed Guarantee with both names on, this also kept the price down as only one policy had to be purchased. This cost just over £3,500 for all the paperwork and Insurance backed guarantee. So both parties were very happy!

Treatment Plan for Removal of Japanese Knotweed in Rochdale:

We like to think we are very commercially minded, and we aim to do the very best for our client.

The treatment plan lasts three years with three visits each year in August, September and October. There is then a further two years of monitoring the gardens to make sure there is no re-growth of the Japanese knotweed. The chemicals we use are significantly stronger than those that can be purchased by the public and we tend to inject as a first option followed by spraying where injection is not possible. The reason for this is that we have seen evidence that injection seems to be more effective especially if the application takes place on a damp day.
