What guarantees does the Grounds Care Group offer?

Our 5- and 10-year guarantees are independently written and approved not only by the Invasive Weed Group of the Property Care Association (PCA), but they are also recognised by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Our treatment plan includes a 5 Year Guarantee for the subject property only.

Guarantees are subject to access and permission to treat being maintained to all properties impacted by Japanese Knotweed and included in this Treatment Plan, for the entire duration of the treatment and guarantee period. It is the clients’ responsibility to maintain access and permissions.

Additional guarantees can be arranged for neighbouring properties subject to the property/owner having their own dedicated contracted treatment plan with The Japanese Knotweed Specialists.

The activation of any guarantee follows the PCA Code of Practice and its requirement of recording two growing seasons without evidence of JKW growth.

Our guarantees are applicable to the extent of the surveyed area or the extent of treatment area, unless explicitly advised otherwise.

The guarantee is applicable to one party (i.e. property owner) only. The guarantee may be assigned to another party upon the sale of the property, subject to proof of ownership and an administration fee.

Failure to tackle all identified areas of the infestation as outlined in our treatment plan, including that in neighbouring properties and which leave a route for the Knotweed to return to the remediated areas may invalidate the guarantee.
