Why Choose a Certified Contractor in Canterbury?
Commercial herbicide application is a legally regulated activity. All operatives must hold a minimum of PA1 certification, with PA6AW required for any work on hard surfaces, near drainage, or in proximity to watercourses. Using an uncertified contractor creates liability for your business under the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986.
Canterbury's mix of heritage buildings, university campuses and riverside commercial areas means that proximity to sensitive features — including the River Stour and the city's drainage network — is a regular consideration. Our PA6AW certification ensures treatments near these features are carried out correctly, and our environmental risk assessment process identifies and manages all relevant risks before any chemical is applied.
- PA1 certified — legal requirement for all commercial pesticide application
- PA6AW certified — required for hard surfaces, car parks, areas near drains and watercourses
- BALI accredited — British Association of Landscape Industries, independently verified professional standards
- £5 million public liability insurance — specifically covering pesticide application on commercial sites
- Full documentation — COSHH assessments, risk method statements and written treatment records provided after every visit
We also provide a full range of commercial weed control services across Kent — including seasonal contracts, invasive species treatment and subcontract work for grounds maintenance companies.
