Excavation & Licenced Removal 

At Japanese Knotweed Ltd, we specialise in the identification, treatment, and complete removal of invasive Japanese knotweed. And unlike most knotweed contractors our teams are also qualified in identifying asbestos material in soils – which we can remove at the same time – on one contract – a major benefit for commercial construction and developers.

  • Home Owners & Commercial: We have specialist equipment to ensure minimal disruption for home owners and maximum scale and efficiency for commercial projects.
  • Full Legal Compliance: Our methods align with Environment Agency guidance and meet PCA standards, helping you stay protected from fines or project delays.
  • Nationwide Coverage: We deploy local technicians across the UK, ensuring fast service wherever you are.
  • Specialist Removal Plans: Whether you need excavation, herbicide treatment, or on-site monitoring, we tailor our approach to suit your property and your goals.
  • Property Sale Support: Need knotweed removed to progress a sale or development? We provide documentation and insurance-backed guarantees where required.
  • Expert Identification: Unsure if it’s knotweed? Our team offers surveys and confirmation within days, giving you clarity before committing to work.

Japanese knotweed is a serious issue – left untreated, it can impact your property’s value and result in legal consequences. Don’t take the risk. Contact our team today and let us take care of the problem with professionalism and speed.

One specialist – one contract

When both contaminants are encountered, coordinating separate specialist contractors can add time, cost and complexity to a project. Our multi-contaminant ground removal service allows us to manage the works under one contract and one point of contact.

This can help to:

  • Reduce project management time and contractor coordination
  • Streamline the excavation and removal process
  • Reduce the potential for programme delays caused by coordinating separate specialist teams
  • Provide a single, accountable contractor for the contaminated ground works
  • Deliver a more efficient and potentially more cost-effective solution

Our specialist teams can coordinate the excavation, segregation and removal of ground affected by Japanese knotweed and asbestos, providing a controlled approach from excavation through to disposal.

Getting the information you need at the right time in the decision process is key. If you have a current or upcoming project involving Japanese knotweed, asbestos-contaminated ground, or both use the contact form above to speak to an expert.

Case study: Adapting to site challenges, and finding asbestos

Removal of Japanese knotweed and asbestos contaminated ground for a large council – via Cosan-CC.

What started off as a typical knotweed removal excavation contract turned into a more complicated project involving asbestos and general waste removal. The team had to think quickly and adapt the brief to ensure the result was a solution the client would be happy with – and of course a clean site ready to be developed.
