JAPANESE KNOTWEED SURVEY

Client Testimonial

“Finding out you have Japanese knotweed is quite a shock but my first contact Japanese Knotweed Ltd was talking to Dan, he was excellent very understanding and attentive.

I phoned him on a number of occasions and he was so reassuring and knowledgeable. My management program was put in place within 2 weeks and my mortgage offer followed a week later.

Superb company, all the people you speak with are very good and so good to deal with!”
