Ah, thanks Liriodendron. I, thankfully, haven't had to deal with it so didn't know. I just wanted to help Ray rather than leave him worrying. Good to see some experienced gardeners have come to his rescue.
Thanks for the help guys, ether way its going to be get rid of, the hard part is satisfyong my mortgage lender with a difinative yes or no As to what it is.
There are lots of companies that will come out and survey it and sort out a treatment plan if it is knotweed, usually over a number of years. This might satisfy your mortgage lender.
I've been looking into this recently as we've discovered knotweed growing on some agricultural land my partner owns (spread from a neighbour's garden). From what I've read, they usually treat it with both glyphosate and 2 4-D. The aim seems to be to keep it dormant as the only way to remove it entirely is to excavate the entire site. This would be difficult as knotweed roots are very deep and extensive.
There seems to be more and more knotweed cropping up all over the place.
