Is Japanese Knotweed:
- on your development site adding significant cost and delays to construction?
- causing damage to existing structures and surfaces?
- spreading into or from adjoining land?
- ruining your garden?
To help you determine the best option for your circumstances we've produced a Japanese Knotweed Flowchart. Alternatively, take a look at our Knotweed Video for further assistance.
The treatment options we provide are:
- xTRACT Method - an immediate solution to your knotweed problem by extracting rhizome from infested areas
- ReACT Herbicide Treatment for a guaranteed or control solution. Please see FAQ for home owners
- Root Barriers- to control vertical and horizontal encroachment of knotweed to critical areas
- "Dig and Dump"- the last resort option. We provide expert site supervision to ensure all and ONLY infested material is removed. This reduces disposal costs by possibly 50% or more compared to the 7x3m rule. This controls the dig and dump operation to reduce the risk of further spread. Guarantees can be provided for excavated areas under our supervision

- Expert Witness
- Site surveys to identify extent of Japanese Knotweed infestation

27 Mar 2008 - Early Knotweed Reported
New surveys undertaken by Environet during March have revealed earlier than expected growth of Japanese Knotweed. Characterised by asparagus like shoots with red/green leaves which grow several cm per day, the plant will reach a staggering 3m tall by the end of July. Is this further evidence of climate change or simply a result of other seasonal factors?
12 Mar 2008 - Budget 2008
HM Treasury have published the Budget for 2008 today, with one entire chapter devoted to "An Environmentally Sustainable World." Following previous consultation it is confirmed that Landfill Tax for waste arising from contaminated land will not be exempt from 2012, with the derived revenue being used to extend land remediation relief. In the context of Japanese Knotweed, off-site disposal will become even more expensive in comparison to on-site treatment options.
21 Dec 2007 - Tax incentives for development of brownfield land
HM Treasury have published their consultation response. The key points relating to Japanese knotweed are that the government intends to extend relief to Japanese knotweed treatment, excluding for landfill disposal, and to phase out landfill tax exemption. Cost of landfill disposal will therefore continue to rise, whilst relief will become available for the more environmentally acceptable treatment methods.
