Peter Cox reviewers often describe staff as friendly, polite and professional, and many say work was left clean and tidy. Punctuality and clear explanations of the job are also frequently reported. Vance is named in many reviews for damp proofing, skirting boards, insulation and other work, while David is also frequently praised for damp courses and related jobs. One reviewer reported a bad experience: walls still damp a month later, a finish like sandpaper, and staff smoking at the front of the property. A few others describe poor communication, repeated chasing for a survey or booking, and work that did not resolve damp.
Vance came today to fit some floor ventilation bricks to the front of our house. Excellent work, very friendly guy, punctual and cleared up after the job (leaving some specially made cardboard hats to protect the sealant from the rain).
David has done a job for us and also helped advise us how to connect our new internet. Very polite guy
Vance as work well and a very helpful lady
David turned up on time and talked me through the job. He has done a very neat and tidy job
Vance was punctual, friendly and efficient. He was respectful of our property and left the room tidy once he had completed his work. He kept me informed throughout the process.
Vance was great to deal with, used him for a property we manage at Currans in the city centre
I have been very happy with the quality of the work carried out by Vance and Paul for Peter Cox today. From the very detailed survey report through to execution, all stages of the process have been excellent. Admin team are very efficient - I have definitely felt well informed and in safe hands throughout.
Vance did a great job. He was very polite, professional and respected the environment and my culture. Completed the work with details. We are very happy with the work done by Vance.
Can’t thank Rob and Tristan enough for the great job insulating our loft today. They were on time, kept going in the heat and were cheerful, professional and courteous throughout

The work at my property has just been completed and I have been impressed with Peter Cox from beginning to end. Chris Fox conducted the survey he was helpful and reassuring about the level of work required (as I had concerns all the joists would need replacing). Booking an appointment was also straightforward Liam was efficient and friendly. Last but not least Tristan who completed the work, he was polite, efficient and so tidy, he also reassured me that he had checked the rest of the joists and they were ok Thanks

He was so clean and tidy and took great care with the job in hand. We were very impressed and would highly recommend this Company.

Vance turned up promptly, was very helpful and completed the work efficiently
I recently used Peter Cox UK and couldn’t be more impressed with the service from start to finish. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. From the initial survey to the completion of the work, everything was handled with the utmost care and efficiency. A special mention has to go to the hardworking technicians, Vance and Dave — their dedication, skill, and attention to detail were outstanding. They were punctual, polite, and clearly took pride in their work. The surveyors were also excellent, taking the time to explain everything clearly and providing honest, expert advice. Customer service was top-notch — every interaction was friendly, professional, and reassuring. It’s rare to find a company that combines technical expertise with such a high level of customer care. Highly recommend Peter Cox UK for anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional team. Five stars all the way!
We were very pleased to have woodworm treatment in the attic administered by Liam Thomas. He spoke with us about what he needed and reassured us about the safety of the product he was using. Sam Comer had thoroughly surveyed the property and ensured the treatment occurred after the bats had left the attic that they use as a nursery roost.
Dave and Stephen were totally professional. Very pleasant guys. Highly recommend
Contacted Peter Cox to survey some rotting floor joists. From the moment of the first visit, Chris Fox was exceptional, thoroughly professional and put us at ease. He was patient and quickly adapted when the nature of the job changed late on. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and the company to anyone I know and will use them again if I ever have cause to.
Liam came today to complete our camp course, he arrived promptly, very efficient and completed the job to standard. All rubbish was cleaned up. Liam was friendly and informative.
Survey carried out today by Luke. Very professional and knowledgeable young man. Thorough survey of the property. Luke gave a detailed review of his findings and provided information on remedial actions.
I recently had DPC work carried out by Peter Cox, and I’m really pleased with the service from start to finish. Steve Morgan and Tristan Wilson were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the visit. They clearly explained the process, carried out the job efficiently, and left the place clean and tidy. The quality of their work gives me full confidence that the damp issue has been properly resolved. I would definitely recommend Peter Cox for anyone looking for reliable and high-standard property preservation work.

Our hacker John Holgate did a very professional job, very neat and tidy, and cleaned up nicely afterwards. Glad to recommend.
Vance turned up at 8am as promised, rare these days. He walked me through every detail the job before and after and made additional recommendations about suitable membranes I could use given our contractor will manage the plastering. The guys put down all the protective covers and left the place both clean and tidy. First class
An easy process from survey through to job completion. David was the engineer on the day. David was on time and polite. The job was completed with pictures and videos provided of the job being done.
David and Rob have completed a damp course at my property this morning. I found them to be efficient and respectful. They completed the work in a timely and tidy manner and explained the process well, which made what could have been such a disruptive procedure so much easier.

Appreciate their flexibility in getting this job done in tandem with other contractors- a credit to the business
David and Vance were excellent! They gave a professional, friendly service. Each aspect was explained as they went along and everything was left in good order when the job was completed. Peter Cox should be proud of it's personnel.
David carried out some work for us. He was very friendly, respectful and thorough. Highly recommended.
Worse service ever, they spent most of the day smoking cigs on the front! Walls still damp a month after! Texture is like sandpaper really bad cowboy job! Told it could take a year to dry out so cant decorate till at least 12 months! Making my mental health deteriorate daily! Would not recommend!!!
From surveyor Martin, whom was extremely helpful. Installers David and Jack whom where prompt, efficient and tidy, and plasterers, whom names escape me, who were non stop and efficient. The whole process has been seamless. All carried out a brilliant job. A small oversight at the end, we are only human, was addressed very quickly, and thats all you can ask for. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Thank-you team.
Impressed from start to finish. Good quality survey explaining everything. Not trying to sell. Knowledgable. Dates arranged for work to be carried out - damp proof injection and remedial work on the walls. - all done very efficiently. Great workman - friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Left everything tidy. Super job. Thanks especially to Martin Paul and Chris and the plasterers
I had a problem with rising damp. Martin, the surveyor from Peter Cox advised the work that would remedy the problem. All work was carried out by Paul the engineer, who completed the job in one day. The process was explained fully and I am a very satisfied customer.
Peter Cox provided us with a damp survey for our property in Chester. The service received from the surveyor was outstanding, plus the responsiveness in answering the questions we had afterwards. We chose to complete some work with them which was to a high standard! Brilliant service
Everyone connected with the work were prompt, polite and courteous. David, the technician, explained the process and was swift and efficient and Mark the plasterer left the place clean and tidy
Fantastic service from Jack and Dave with the damp proof course and timber treatment. Ian and his team did an amazingly plastering job too. Professional and tidy workers.
David and Jack did a great job installing our damp course. They were friendly and polite. They went through what they were going to do and kept us informed throughout the job. They made sure everything was tidy before they left.
We had damp proofing treatment performed by David and Jack. The service they gave was first class - they were punctual, tidy, polite and efficient. I would recommend the service provided by Peter Cox. Thank you
From the initial survey and follow up by Gareth Hayward, the communication and updates from Liam regarding dates for the work to be carried out and then the damp proof, re-pointing and thermotek application by David and Jack the experience was very easy. Everyone we dealt with was pleasant, courteous and explained exactly what they were doing and why. Highly recommended.
Yet again Peter Cox have come to the rescue with a minimal fuss solution in a professional and polite, efficient manner. The gents who visited, Paul and Dillon and the initial inspection by Carl were all punctual, informative and polite. The job of injecting an internal damp proof was done with no mess and the gents made sure that the floor was protected before walking through from outside. Excellent job and explanations of each stage. Thanks guys. Have now used Peter Cox 3 times on different houses and no doubt will use them again and will recommend them unreservedly.
Peter Cox started the work when promised. The work was undertaken professionally and finished to a good standard. The workmen left the site clean and tidy. Only hitch was a workman turning up to complete some work that had already been done. A full price for the work but can't fault the outcome.
My neighbour recommended using Peter Cox for some damp work and replastering I needed done and I'm so glad she did! Everyone that came out to do work was excellent and I was quoted a fair price too. They were friendly, professional and very covid safe. Tristan who did the damp proofing was very efficient and explained everything that had been done and Mark who did the plastering was great too. They explained everything, answered all my questions(and I had a few!) and were remarkably tidy. I felt very relaxed and confident with the work they did! Catherine in the office deserves a mention too as she was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable! Very pleased would definitely recommend Peter Cox.
We had an excellent service from Peter Cox from first contact right through to completion of our damp proof course. Surveyor Chris Fox was very professional and knowledgeable. Really nice, reassuring and ensured the work could be carried out with minimal disruption. Liam and the support team were extremely helpful, getting in touch and following things up with me to ensure we had the work completed as arranged (we needed chasing up, not the company). Cameron who undertook the work arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently, continually cleaning up after himself. He even managed to work in our cluttered store room to access the brickwork so we didn't have to drag everything out into the garden. We are so pleased that we chose Peter Cox.
We were very pleased with all three stages of the damp and dry rot treatment work that Peter Cox Ltd did for us. They were very careful to eliminate all the problems and to give us assurances that the damp and dry rot has been properly treated.
Useless. Booked in to have a survey done with them in November which they done and quoted me, chased all of december and January to have the full service booked in and couldnt get through to them or get any response to email. Eventually got another company to quote me who actually charged me alot less, work came with a 30 year guarantee and they came back the next week. Peter cox got back to me after the work was completed. Pathetic.
Poor service, 24 phone calls to get through, then I had to contact the surveyor myself, I've now been waiting a further 2 weeks for a response to my email
Following a building survey on my home carried out by an independent surveyor, I was advised to have a damp & timber specialist survey the house I was buying. I contacted Peter Cox to send a surveyor, who decided the house would need a damp proof course (DPC) on most of the ground floor walls (internal and external). I instructed them to schedule the work, as per his advice: 1 day of applying the DPC and 2 days of re-plastering. There was a lead time of over a month so my partner and I opted to put off moving into our newly bought house until after the work was done. The day before the DPC I had received no calls or emails since my initial call to book the work. I called them to pay my deposit and make sure they were still coming. This will not be the first time that I have to chase them to give them money. The man who came to do the DPC immediately noted that some of our internal walls were coated in Artex which could potentially contain asbestos and as such he wouldn’t be able to disturb it and wouldn’t be able to carry out all of the work that the surveyor had suggested. Why didn’t the surveyor pay attention to what the walls were decorated with? Is his sole job not to inspect the walls? The Artex isn’t exactly subtle, I could have told him what it was but isn’t he the expert? The man guessed the name of the surveyor without any clues from me, meaning that there is a surveyor working for Peter Cox Liverpool who is known to be bad at his job. I wouldn’t expect him to put himself at risk, I accepted that his decision was based on safety concerns. But no solution was offered for treating this wall, no advice about how we could get the Artex tested for asbestos, no offer to come back at a later date and complete the work that I was paying them for. Just “we can’t touch that”. The next day my partner took the day off work to be at the house with the plasterers, who were supposed to arrive 8.30-9am. When it got to 9.30 and they hadn’t arrived I called the office and was told they were running late but that they’d be there by 11am. At 11.30 I called again, to be told they would be there by 1pm. At 1.30 I called them AGAIN and was told that they wouldn’t be coming at all. My partner lost a full day’s earnings waiting around for them; she could have gone in for a half day if they’d just told us in the first place that they had no intention of coming. At no point through any of this did they call me, it was always me chasing them - a real lack of customer care. This delay meant that the 2 days of re-plastering would now run later into the week and into the day that we were moving into the house. We had removal vans/men booked and couldn’t change it at such short notice. We ended up carrying furniture into a dusty house and working around the plasterers - far from ideal. I was promised a reduction on the price multiple times throughout the whole process. When it came to it, the reduction offered was a joke and I had to threaten them with legal action before we agreed a reduction that came close to making up for the completely unprofessional service, my partner’s loss of earnings and the huge inconvenience overall. The final insult was when I called them to make this payment, they tried to trick me into paying the original price - one last attempt to rip me off right at the end. In summary: Awful communication between contractors/office/customer Incompetent surveyor Impossible for them to do the work they themselves had described and charged me for Contractors didn’t show up when they’d been booked well in advance Office staff were unhelpful and untrustworthy throughout
It is very rare these days to find a company that goes above and beyond. Peter Cox is one of those companies. From start to finish their professionalism was first class. I have to say that Cameron Wright, who actually performed the damp proof course was a hard working individual and efficient leaving my home as clean and tidy as any home can be after such a procedure. Very pleasant nature. I would recommend this company to anyone needing reassurance about dampness in their property.
I would recommend this company, very helpful and professional from start to finish. Clean and tidy work, punctual, friendly and informative.
Excellent service from Peter Cox. From the initial contact by phone to Karl the Surveyor who carried out the inspection, followed by Mark who carried out the repair, the whole process was slick, professional and pleasant. I have no background in building but had every confidence in the company as they explained the process at every step and gave clear options without any of the 'hard sell' Would highly recommend this firm to anyone who is unfortunate enough to experience problems with damp, they will defo' put your mind at ease
I can't fault the guys from Peter cox they treated our home with the greatest respect and where very clean and tidy. All i can say is thankyou some much to all the staff and for being so prompt and efficient. Thankyou Peter cox M powell
Written OBO Alice Stevens: Tom Barber provided an excellent professional service, and David Turner was also brilliant. A very neat job, no mess was left and the work was finished ahead of schedule. Great value for money, and communication at each step was on point. I would absolutely recommend Peter Cox to others. Thank you :-)
Fantastic service and work carried out efficiently and with due care for my carpets etc. Brian worked hard and with consideration when he carried out the 'dirty' work and earned his cups of tea. Alan, the sub contractor, carried out the best plastering work I've come across.
Awful experience and truly shocking customer service. Had damp proofing done all of downstairs. Not cheap (even one of the labourers said they'd overcharged us). Thank ok no notice of our request to be careful with our wooden floors, deep long scratches.. 3 months later damp patches reappered. Had to chase them for weeks until finally a surveyor came out, he said he wouldn't know why the patches are there but would send a builder. No builder arrived. Phones up and they said the builder is on holiday. Several weeks later still waiting to hear back. Avoid avoid avoid!
Great service. Liam couldn't be more helpful and is a credit to the Company. Will definitely recommend.
All of the staff who both carried out both the work and those in the office have been very professional, helpful and courteous. I would highly recommend the company.
Excellent and very professional service. Workmanship of a very high standard. Would highly recommend.
Cannot fault Peter Cox. From the moment their surveyor, Ashley, came round to carry out the assessment, and then when Dan undertook the work just a few days later, has proved Peter Cox to be an extremely professional company. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Ashley was very polite and professional, and Dan was very thorough and tidy. Brilliant!!!!! Thankyou so very much for what did for us. I know where to go in future if I have any similar problems!
Work was well explained and completed as tidily as possible given that there was an amount of plaster removal. Good steps taken to avoid damage to the rest of the house and rooms being treated. The finish achieved on the walls after the work was very good - the areas treated are indistinguishable from the rest of the walls. In some cases treatment was applied behind skirting boards, which were replaced looking like they had never come off the wall. We had a small problem with scheduling - Peter Cox was not fully prepared to start work on the agreed day, but they pulled out the stops to complete more quickly than planned and ended up finishing just 1 day later than planned. Great communication with the project office while they were sorting out what needed to be done to start the work. It's far too early to tell how effective the treatment is. For reference, our house is a mid-1800s sandstone cottage. So no damp course in the original build. Peter Cox's treatment is designed to block rising damp without a damp course.
First solution that I was offered and following discussions was told was 100% worthwhile cost about £500. Within the week the area was soaking again. Told further measures could be taken and another treatment organised. Charged £500 again which seemed unfair but I was desperate and went ahead. I decided to wait until it next rained to check if all was now water tight to pay, and intended to again raise the question of the useless treatment that I had originally been sold. To my horror the representative attended the following day asking for payment from my husband. He was at no time the customer. The contract was with me.He was embarrassed and paid. My double glazing has been covered with the product used. No attempt to protect it. I have been trying for hours to clean it now but the surface of the units are damaged.Looks a total mess. I totally regret having used this firm.
Thorough and professional from the outset. Friendly and helpful operators. Highly recommended.
Excellent and responsive service. The staff making the survey booking were very helpful and professional. The surveyor took the trouble to phone as soon as the survey was completed because he knew that we needed an urgent response . Would have no hesitation in recommending them to others and will certainly use them again .
I chose the best, well 65 years experience says all!!
