Having Japanese knotweed on your property is not illegal, but allowing it to spread onto neighbouring land is an offence under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. You have a legal duty to prevent its spread, and knotweed waste must be disposed of as controlled waste.
Costs vary depending on the type of weed, the size of the affected area, and the treatment plan required. Online photo assessments are free; a professional on-site survey starts from £250 and is credited against the works. Most residential treatments range from £300-£2,500, while commercial projects are priced individually.
