At Environet, our goal is ‘to protect local environments from invasive plants using eco-friendly methods.’ As such, biodiversity is at the core of our work, and we are always keeping our eyes peeled for external voluntary opportunities to further our efforts.
If you’re a regular BBC Radio 4 You & Yours listener, you may have heard our founder and Managing Director Nic Seal being interviewed on 23rd March about how he grew Environet into the market-leading 100% employee-owned invasive plant specialist business it is today.
he time has come to say a fond farewell to Bertie Seal, Director of Environet, who retired at the end of February after 27 years working alongside husband and co-founder Nic.
We’ve launched a new survey, JustCheck™ aimed at homebuyers and sellers who want more certainty on whether or not a property is affected by Japanese knotweed.
As knotweed continues to spread across the country, now affecting almost a million households, people are becoming better informed about how to identify knotweed, deal with it effectively and preserve property values when they come to sell.
Rest assured, where invasive species are identified at an early stage and tackled correctly, problems can usually be avoided. Our specialist consultants complete thorough surveys to identify the extent of the problem. Our plans aren’t one-size-fits-all; they’re customised to tackle the invasive species at your property effectively, taking account of all of your requirements.
Our team of experts is available between 9am and 5:30pm, Monday to Friday to answer your enquiries and advise you on the next steps

If you already know you have an invasive plant problem, you can request a survey online in less than two minutes by providing a few brief details. A member of the team will swiftly come back to you with further information and our availability.
