Seawall Project at Toms Boatyard, Polruan

• C.Toms & Son is a family business based in Polruan near Fowey in Cornwall. We run a boatyard which builds and repairs fishing boats and commercial vessels and also offers a range of services to local and visiting yacht owners. We also operate the Polruan passenger ferry and the Bodinnick car ferry on the River Fowey.

Our boatyard provides a comprehensive range of services for both commercial and leisure customers.

We are able handle all boat maintenance projects of all sizes from a major refit project to a simple lift and scrub. We build new vessels in either steel or wood and can also fit out GRP hulls. In addition, our wide range of associated services includes marine and hydraulic engineering, marine electronics, chandlery, showers and laundry facilities and fuel sales.

Our experienced in-house team includes shipwrights, boat builders, welder fabricators, engineers, GRP specialists and specialist painters. We also work closely with a tried and tested network of specialist suppliers and agents to ensure that we can offer the best possible services and products for your project.

The project is an extension to our boatyard and will include the construction of a new sea wall and the filling in of a section of foreshore. This will widen a section of the site which will enable us to expand the yard allowing us to cater for an additional four refit or new build projects at any one time.

The commissioning of this work is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. More details in the attached.
