How can Japanese knotweed affect buildings?
According to Environet’s research, approximately five percent of homes are currently affected by knotweed, either directly or indirectly.
The roots can grow as deep as three metres and spread up to seven metres wide, making it hard to control without professional help.
Nic Seal, founder and Managing Director of Environet, said: “Japanese knotweed tends to strike fear into the hearts of homeowners but as long as they’re aware of its presence and take action to remove it before it causes any serious damage or spreads to a neighbour’s property, there’s no reason to panic.
“Anyone living near or moving to one of these hotspots would be wise to check their garden carefully, enter their postcode into the Exposed heatmap to find out how many known occurrences are nearby and if in doubt, seek expert help.”
