Continuity of non-chemical weed control - Kersten UK

Continuity of non-chemical weed control - we can help

If your non-chemical weed control programme has been disrupted - whether through a change in supplier, a break in equipment support, or an interrupted supply chain - Kersten UK can help you maintain continuity. We have been supplying, servicing, and supporting non-chemical weed management in the UK for over 20 years, and we have the range, the technical expertise, and the supply chain to keep your programme running.

Independent servicing for thermal weed control machines

Our engineers are experienced with the boiler systems, engines, and pressure components found in a wide range of thermal weed control machines. If your equipment needs a service, repair, or inspection and your original supplier is no longer available, we can help.

We offer ad hoc callouts and annual service contracts across the UK. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

An IWM review - making the most of your investment

A disruption to your weed control programme is also an opportunity to review your approach. Our Integrated Weed Management audit - developed by Sean Faulkner, author of the DEFRA-funded IWM guidance - will assess your sites, your current methods, and recommend the most effective and cost-efficient non-chemical solution for your specific circumstances.

This is not a sales exercise. It is independent, evidence-based advice from the UK's leading specialist in non-chemical weed management.
