New 10 year Insurance Backed Guarantee !

Available for Bamboo and Invasive Weed Control Programmes to Support House Sale Completions

We are excited to announce that we are now able to provide 10 year insurance backed guarantees for our bamboo control programmes, in the same way that we do for Japanese knotweed control treatment programmes, that immediately satisfy mortgage providers and enable house sales to progress.

You may not be thinking of selling and might need your bamboo removed to prevent it encroaching your land or your neighbours, but if you should decide to sell in future our guarantee will give you long term peace of mind that no unnecessary hitches due to the invasive weeds will stand in the way of a potential sale.

By definition, non-native invasive weeds grow fast and get more expensive the longer they are left, so act now and call us on 07518 456090 to see how we can help you.

How I can help

1 Email me a clear close-up photo of the suspected offender and also one of the areas it covers. In many cases, I am able to quickly identify whether or not you have Japanese Knotweed or something else. This service is free of charge.

2 If I suspect you have knotweed, I’ll arrange for a site inspection. I visit in an unmarked van, so your neighbours need not know. There is a small charge for this to cover my travel expenses.

3 I will prepare a report, explaining how I recommend removing the infestation, together with my costs and expected time scale. Once you have my report, accept my findings, and ask me formally to commence work, mortgage companies are normally prepared to proceed with advancing the mortgage.

4 I offer a ten-year insurance-backed guarantee.

What you might not know

about Japanese Knotweed

Trying to sort out the problem yourself will usually make matters worse

Cutting the knotweed, for example, can cause it to spread faster

The best treatment options are determined by maturity and stage of growth. Only an expert can assess this

Japanese knotweed can remain dormant for years. If you shock the plant into hibernation, you can create greater problems

There are regulations in place prohibiting you of disposing of Japanese knotweed at a public site eg your local recycling facility

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert went out of his way to ensure my mind was put at rest after Google had sent me over the edge in regard to a Russian Vine we'd had growing in the garden. Robert explained everything clearly ensuring that we didn't overreact to what was in his words "nothing to worry about". He visited us to check on the area where we had dug it up and had already been treating it in exactly the same manner as he would have recommended. He throughly checked for any remnants and explained the course of action we should take should there be any regrowth, which is extremely simple. I cannot thank Robert enough for his help and advice and for his calm manner. I would urge anyone who has a nuisance plant to not look for help on Google, not unless you want sleepless nights, just call an expert in who will assess it correctly and sort it, job done! Thank you so much Robert. Any issues we might have in the future you will be the first person I call.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert was a terrific help with an outcrop of bamboo in our neighbours garden. He was knowledgeable and reassuring after the horror stories in the papers, and went out of his way to sort the problem - we can't recommend him highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We bought a building plot which had Japanese knotweed on, we had no experience or any idea of what it was. We then found out how much of a pain it was, that’s when we were introduced to Robert, he made the situation a lot less stressful, he explained every detail of how it was going to be removed and organised everything without us having to do anything. Once the knotweed was removed and disposed of, Robert returned annually to monitor the infected areas, which have now been signed off. Robert offers a fantastic service and carries the work out quickly and professionally, I would recommend this service to anyone. Thank you
