Bamboo Removal Costs

Are you wondering about bamboo removal costs in the UK in 2024 ?

Bamboo removal costs are often one of the first things that are thought about or mentioned when a homeowner has a bamboo problem.

The cost of bamboo removal pales into insignificance when the cost of not removing bamboo is considered. The likely costs involved with ignoring the problem and letting it continue to expand will be much higher.

A bamboo problem will only get worse, each year expanding into new areas, the bamboo removal cost becoming greater.

Bamboo removal is a complex process, certainly not something to be taken lightly.
Contractors need to understand bamboo, it’s life cycle and how it expands.
They also need to have the skills and equipment to undertake the work, and undertake works to a high standard.

The actual cost of a bamboo removal is dependent on a large number or variables, it is impossible to give a generic cost, however we will be able to give an indication from expertise and previous bamboo removals.

Influencing factors include the size, type and density of the bamboo colonisation.
Whether the bamboo has encroached into neighbouring property, access to the bamboo location.
The area surrounding the bamboo matters greatly, whether trees or shrubs will need removal, is the area clear open land, or complex such as hard landscaping areas. Underground services must also be remembered, cables, pipes etc.

These are just a few of the factors, however there are very many more.

One major fact that must be at the forefront of any pricing decision is that bamboo is a highly regenerative and invasive species, any work must be carried out to very high standards first time without fail.

Whilst bamboo removals costings can cost from as little as £995 +vat, most will cost more.

In our experience most bamboo removal costs range in the region of £1795 +vat to £7995 +vat.

However if the bamboo expansion or encroachment is significant, the location of the bamboo is difficult, perhaps encroachment under patios or into neighbouring property the costs can be much higher, with costs very easily rising to £10,000 +vat and more.

Whilst these costs might be higher than you had first imagined, if works are not undertaken and your bamboo encroaches into a neighbours property, perhaps into mature shrubs or a hedge, under an area of decking or perhaps a shed, or under a hard landscaped area such as paving, the costs to remove the encroachment and to make good any damage caused will very quickly run into many times the cost of the removal from your garden.

If your bamboo has already encroached into a neighbouring property act swiftly to limit the damage caused and to minimise any additional costs.

It must also be remembered that if your bamboo encroaches into a neighbouring property you are highly likely to be responsible for the removal costs and any remedial work needed, including replacement of trees, shrubs or landscaping.
Bamboo encroachment is covered under “Nuisance” legislation.
