Many species of Bamboo pose significant threats to property owners in the UK due to its aggressive growth. The plant spreads rapidly through it's underground rhizome systems, able to penetrate through foundations, paving, drains and cause major structural damage. These risks can lead to neighbouring boundary disputes of encroachment, and also hinder property sales as buyers and lenders view the risk as similar to Japanese Knotweed.
Early action is crucial to avoid further spread, damage, stress and costs.
Bamboo out competes native plants, reducing biodiversity and causing ecological destruction. Bamboo is not officially classified as an invasive plant under the Schedule 9 list, however we often see more damage caused than from plants like Japanese Knotweed due to a more dense rhizome network. Professional eradication is recommended for effective results. Our Guarantee package evidences all work from start to finish to avoid property sale issues.
