We specialise in providing walked weed control, eliminating the dangers associated with the use of ATV’s and mini-tractors on footway areas, as well as offering controlled, targeted herbicide application in accordance with UK and European legislation. We use Controlled Droplet Herbicide and equipment, which offers reduced pesticide application rates, and virtually eliminates spray drift. Our operatives able to treat highway areas alongside obstacles on verges and difficult to reach footways, alongside one another.

We have a highly mobile, flexible team of trained contracting staff, and are able to react quickly to our clients individual requirements. Our operators are NPTC certified to PA1/ PA6a/d, for application using a controlled droplet applicator. Being specialists in this area we are able to offer advice and guidance on all aspects associated with the application of herbicide.

We offer comprehensive Amenity spray programmes to our clients. Experienced supervisors oversee day to day operations on the ground and our contracts managers work with teams, and carry out spot checks on operations on a regular basis, to ensure compliance with Best Practice at all times. We carry out our own audits of weed control operations 2-3 weeks after treatment, in addition to responding to client feedback. Where missed areas are identified, we would look to provide re-treatment within 5 days of notification.

Many thanks for the 1st spray program which has been delivered very well without any issue. The teams I have met on site whilst undertaking site inspections have all been of excellent standards and have been very helpful / knowledgeable
