Handover news: Young professionals in Wimbledon bring in Block Management UK to monitor knotweed issue


A period-style new build block located in SW19 has signed a management deal with BMUK. Previously, the residents had self-managed and had done so quite successfully. Having appointed an accountant, they had also recently employed a specialist to remove Japanese knotweed from their grounds.  

Specialist Japanese knotweed contractors must be registered waste carriers and it usually takes at least three to four seasons to eradicate Japanese knotweed using weedkiller. Professional contractors, however, will have access to more powerful weedkiller that may reduce this period by half.

Whilst this property’s knotweed removal has a 20-year guarantee, part of our management agreement with the leaseholders is to take on the monitoring and management of this infestation ongoing, to check that the removal was successful.
