Cornwall Plumbing and Heating Services
Cornwall Plumber — David Tonkin
Welcome. I’m David Tonkin, a professional plumber based in Penzance serving homes and businesses across Cornwall. I combine reliable workmanship with a practical, friendly approach so every call-out is straightforward, stress-free, and done right the first time.
What I do
General plumbing: repairs, replacements, leak detection, pipework and maintenance.
Bathrooms and kitchens: installs, upgrades, tiling-friendly plumbing, fittings and full refurb plumbing.
Heating and hot water: boiler servicing, cylinder and immersion work, radiators, and central heating repairs.
Emergency call-outs: prompt attention to leaks, burst pipes, and urgent heating failures.
A friendly, professional approach I know plumbing problems often come at inconvenient times and can be stressful. I treat every customer with respect, listen carefully to concerns, and explain options clearly in plain language. You’ll get:
Clear communication about the problem, the recommended solution, and the expected cost before any work begins.
Courteous, punctual service and a tidy work area.
Consideration for your home: protecting floors, minimizing disruption, and cleaning up completely when the job is done.
Attention to detail Good plumbing is as much about precision as it is about experience. I take care to:
Diagnose issues thoroughly so repairs are permanent, not temporary fixes.
Use quality parts and fittings chosen for durability and compatibility with your system.
Follow best practices and local regulations to ensure safety and long-term reliability.
Carry out neat, professional finishes so visible work looks as good as it performs.
Transparent pricing and honest advice You’ll receive an accurate estimate and a clear explanation of options—repair, replace, or delay—so you can make an informed decision. If a simple, low-cost fix will do the job without compromising safety or performance, I’ll tell you. If replacement or a more robust solution is the better long-term choice, I’ll explain why.
Local, trusted, and ready to help Based in Penzance, I understand the local homes and systems common across Cornwall. I build long-term relationships through dependable service and workmanship you can trust.
