Welcome to CamdenJapaneseKnotweed.co.uk
Van Gilst Horticulture Ltd runs under the direction of Marc Van Gilst. We have considerable expertise in the removal of Japanese Knotweed and other hazardous and out of control weeds such as ivy, buddleia and hogweed.
As well as domestic house holders, we work for landlords, estate agents and builders. We are also official contractors for Camden Council.
Herbicidal Stem Injection
There are a number of ways to facilitate the removal of japanese knotweed. Our weapon of choice is herbicidal stem injection. We have found this method to be extremely effective. It is also the least disruptive as it requires no digging of contaminated soil.
We are licensed by the Environment Agency, certified to NPTC PA1/PA6 in the use of Pesticides. This is a legal requirement for any contractor using herbicides to control japanese knotweed.
Licensed Waste Carriers
Japanese Knotweed is classified as hazardous waste by the Environment Agency and improper removal and disposal is a criminal offence.
We are licensed by the Environment Agency to carry hazardous waste.
Fully Insured
We carry full public indemnity insurance
