If you suspect a problem with invasive weeds, aquatic weeds on your land or property or asbestos contaminated soils, the quickest way to find out is with a survey, carried out by qualified professionals.
No homeowner wants invasive plants taking over their garden or land. When this happens it can be very costly to rectify, so taking control with a survey is the best action to take if you suspect you have an invasive plant such as Bamboo or Horsetail which can devalue your property if left uncontrolled. Full list of invasive plants HERE.
For homeowners who don’t want a full survey you can ask us for a quick quote. Send us images of the target plant and we can send you an initial estimate on the cost of invasive or aquatic weed treatment, based on a rough approximation of the amount of target plants on the property. This is often a good option that precede a full site survey and full quote.
Evidencing invasive weeds such as Giant hogweed or Japanese knotweed, or suspected ground contaminates such as Asbestos on site can mean the project gets put on immediate hold until the problem has been eradicated. Hundreds of UK construction companies and property developers come to us to resolve their contamination issues.
We recommend having a site survey so we can provide you with a full quote. This will be carried out by one of our specialists so that you can be provided with a comprehensive survey report and remedial works quotation. The report will detail the site, the target problem(s), with photographs and a survey drawing.
For asbestos contaminated ground projects we will need to carry out soil analysis at the time of survey. Ask us for details.
