Every solution is designed around your site, your timescales and your budget, ensuring effective control for residential, commercial and development projects throughout the capital.

As specialists in invasive weed control, Invasive Vegetation Management & Treatment Ltd (IVM) uses the advanced IVM ‘FAST’ System — a scientifically developed approach that combines the latest research with modern application techniques. This ensures fast, reliable and long‑lasting control of Japanese Knotweed and related species across Greater London.

Our directors bring over 95 years of combined experience in invasive vegetation management. Our operational team includes highly experienced specialists who have delivered large‑scale weed‑control programmes across London and the UK, ensuring every project benefits from exceptional technical knowledge, rigorous standards and professional oversight.

IVM has extensive experience working to construction schedules, development programmes and mortgage deadlines throughout London. All operatives are trained to high standards, are NRoSO members, and follow strict Health & Safety and environmental protocols.

As a registered and approved PCA (Property Care Association) contractor, IVM delivers bespoke Japanese Knotweed solutions for every London client. No two sites are the same — and neither are our treatment plans.

We provide lender‑approved Knotweed Management Plans (KMPs) for residential and commercial properties across London. These documents are recognised by all major banks, building societies and mortgage lenders, enabling lending on affected properties.

All quotations, reports and recommendations are clear, transparent and easy to understand. With decades of experience supporting homeowners, surveyors, estate agents and construction companies across London, we understand boundary issues, deadlines, budgets and the pressures that come with them — and we tailor our programmes accordingly.

Japanese Knotweed treatment is a specialist service that requires a qualified, accredited contractor. For effective, guaranteed control on residential or commercial sites in London, speak to the experts — Contact IVM.
