Additional Insurance Backing
Southwest Knotweed use two different providers of Insurance Backed Guarantees, GPI and Peacock Insurance Services
Peacock & GPI are a general insurer authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority and insurance backing means that in the unlikely event that Southwest Knotweed stopped trading, your Japanese Knotweed guarantee policy would continue to be in place and covered by a professional contractor, working to the Property Care Association code of practice. This policy of insurance can also be passed from home-owner to home-owner with no extra cost.
Why is an Insurance Backed Guarantee important?
Japanese Knotweed is a very difficult plant to control, the rhizomes of this plant extend very deep under ground and can cause damage if growing close to buildings, walls, utility pipes and will exploit any weakness if not treated correctly.
Our guarantee will ensure that if growth is recorded after the initial treatment programme, Southwest Knotweed will carry on treating the infected area until the plant stops producing growth.
