Japanese Knotweed Problem? Use UK Leading Specialist
There is still the fear factor where Japanese Knotweed is concerned. Rightly or wrongly Japanese Knotweed reduces the value of your home, low valuations, uncertainty with mortgages and lenders have led to mistrust with purchasers. Let KleerKut remove your Japanese Knotweed problem.
After a few large claims in the early 2000’s damage resulting from Japanese Knotweed was excluded from many Building Insurance policies and mostly still is. This was the reason that banks became reluctant to lend on affected property affected by Japanese Knotweed. Most people will know someone who has had difficulty getting insurance / a mortgage / selling their home / low valuation etc; it is quite incredible the impact this one plant species has had throughout the UK. Whether you agree or disagree with the hype that surrounds this species, one thing that cannot be disputed is the effect it has had on the residential market over the last decade.

General Information
Man first arrived in Britain about 8,000 years ago and virtually all new land plants that have become established since this date have been brought here by humans. We call these new plants non-native species.
Not all non-native species are bad – it is only a minority that have serious negative impacts on our native British species, our health or our economy. These species we call invasive non-native species.
No they are not. Interestingly the plant species which arguably is often found to be the most destructive, Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is actually a native plant species. It certainly can still be invasive while being native and also very difficult to manage as many gardeners will testify.
While non-natives such as Japanese Knotweed are legislated to control movement; natives are not legislated because they are native to Britain.
As the name would suggest we specialise in the management of Japanese Knotweed. We do however also manage Giant Hogweed, Himalayan Balsam and other controlled plant species even the lesser known ones. We are not just restricted to land species we also advise on aquatics and semi-aquatics. We also manage and control native species too – in particular the mighty Horsetail.
We can help you find the best way to solve your particular problem. We will not try to upsell or exaggerate your situation – we will simply provide your options / explain your situation and associated risks – then work with you until the solution which is right for you presents itself. Simple!
