This invasive plant has grown extensively throughout the UK, causing damage to properties, walls and drains. Due to the strong root system they can break through concrete and walls, causing structural damage to your property or other structures.

It was originally brought over by the Victorians as an ornamental plant and was often used along railway embankments, due to its resilient nature.

However, many issues are now arising due to Japanese Knotweed being used along railway embankments. This has caused problems and legal cases to come against Network Rail, as the Knotweed growing along the railways is now spreading onto neighbouring properties. Although it is not illegal to have Japanese Knotweed growing on your property it is illegal to allow it to grow onto another’s property.
