TP Knotweed Solutions: invasive plant eradication across the UK

TP Knotweed Solutions is a British company specialising in the removal of invasive plants, with a particular focus on Japanese knotweed. Since 2011, it has served homeowners, businesses and local councils across the UK. Its team is made up of NPTC and CSJK certified surveyors and specialists, and the firm operates under the trading name of Zirkon Ltd.

Services for residential properties

The company carries out mortgage-compliant Japanese knotweed surveys, with prices starting from £300.00 + VAT. It offers same-day written quotes and rapid site inspections, with the possibility of a certified specialist attending the site within 24 hours of the enquiry. Treatment plans are tailored to each infestation and are carried out by NPTC-certified contractors. All remediation work is covered by a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, in line with industry standards, which is usually required by mortgage lenders in property sales.

The company serves clients such as property developers, homeowners and businesses, and has carried out projects for The Co-operative Funeralcare and Wickes Plc, among others.

Methods and guarantees

Certified contractors assess each site and recommend a specific treatment plan according to the extent and location of the infestation. Methods vary and are detailed on the treatment methods page. The company offers 5-year treatment plans and 10-year insurance-backed guarantees. It is also an accredited member of the Property Care Association (PCA).
