Why Choose a Certified Contractor for Gravesend?
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 — or a general gardener who applies herbicide without the correct licences — creates liability for your business under the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986.
Weed Control Kent holds all required certifications. Every treatment comes with a full COSHH assessment, risk method statement and written spraying record — documentation you need for your own compliance records and that any professional contractor should provide as standard.
- 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
- £5 million public liability insurance — specifically covering pesticide application on commercial sites
- Full documentation — COSHH assessments, risk method statements and treatment records provided after every visit
