 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John was recommended to me by a friend who had used him and gave him a glowing review. Could not have been happier with his workmanship. All three of them were polite and friendly.
John and his team turned up at 8:30 and got straight on with removing insulation. By 14:00 the loft had been re insulated, partially boarded and new loft hatch installed. Fantastic job done in very hot conditions, came down from the loft drenched. Loft looks great and no more heat escaping through a dodgy hatch.
Would have no hesitation recommending John.
Thanks John.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot recommend John and his team highly enough.

They removed the spray foam from our loft, which is an incredibly dirty, painstaking and physically demanding job, especially in the intense heat they were working in. Despite the conditions, they worked tirelessly throughout, always with a smile and an exceptional level of professionalism.

John and every member of his team were friendly, polite, conscientious and incredibly hardworking. They took great care with our home, communicated brilliantly from start to finish, and kept us informed throughout the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble, and they consistently went the extra mile to make sure everything was done to the highest standard.

When they finished, we were amazed. The loft looked fantastic, and they had left everything absolutely spotless. Their attention to detail and pride in their work was evident in every aspect of the job.

If you're looking for a company to carry out work in your loft, don't hesitate to use John and his team. They are reliable, diligent, skilled and genuinely lovely people to have working in your home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant experience with J Peacock Home Insulation. From John’s accurate initial estimation to the quick installation by the team, everything was seamless. The new loft hatch and ladder are perfect. They even cleaned up after themselves to make sure there was no mess left behind. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John and the guys were amazing. We got a quote a few months ago and had the loft re insulated and re boarded this week after a very bad job from a builder! The guys arrived early were very polite, tidy, efficient chatty and genuinely nice young men. Our loft is now done correctly looks so much better and hopefully will be warmer I would have no hesitation in recommending these guys and would rate 110% thanks guys maria and Steve Woodham Walter

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve worked with J Peacock Home Insulation for a number of years looking after their website and marketing, so we get to see the feedback they receive and the work they carry out across Essex on a regular basis.

They cover everything from loft insulation and loft boarding to spray foam removal and vermiculite removal, and one thing that always stands out is how many customers come back to them or recommend them to friends and family. That kind of repeat business only happens when a company genuinely does a good job.

Their team clearly take pride in their work and have built a really strong reputation around Chelmsford, Colchester and the surrounding areas. If you need loft insulation or loft boarding in Essex and want a company you can trust, they’re definitely worth speaking to!
