Why Japanese Knotweed is a Problem
Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is an aggressive, non-native plant with bamboo-like stems and heart-shaped leaves. It spreads rapidly via underground rhizomes, often penetrating foundations, walls, and drains.
Key risks include:
- Structural damage to buildings and hard surfaces
- Legal complications under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981
- Delays and costs to planning permission and property sales
- Mortgage refusals due to presence on Home Reports

Fiona Rickards2024-05-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. JBB is a company you can trust. We have received excellent service from them. They know what they're doing, and do it well. Lyndsay responded quickly to our concerns at finding suspected Japanese knotweed in our garden, and helped us book a timely survey. James arrived when he said he would, and was professional, knowledgeable and deeply kind. He gave us a clear assessment of the situation, understanding our worries and answering all our questions. He mapped out a management plan to deal with the knotweed and gave us precise instructions of what to do in the meantime. An email confirming details of the management plan was sent the following day. Anyone researching Japanese knotweed will know it can take 2-3 years to deal with. We feel safe in the hands of JBB as an experienced company. Thank you! Helen2023-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First class service.

Shahzad Shaffi2023-04-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A client required a knotweed survey of a site he was looking to acquire. We had dealt with JBB Knotweed Solution in the past and had no hesitation in recommending their services. As expected, the team was professional in their approach to the clients requirement. Currently, there are very few companies in Scotland that provide the service JBB provide and they are the best in the game!
