We specialise in clock servicing and repair, providing these services:

Servicing of most clock types includes:

  • Pick up clock from owner or location
  • Inspection, documentation of condition and owners comments, list of repairs required and photographs taken of any noteworthy areas,
  • Strip, basic clean, repairs (usually a few replacement bushes) if required and agreed by owner, full clean using ultrasonic cleaner and safe detergents or other methods as required, polish as appropriate,
  • Record repairs photographically, lubricate, reassemble, oil as appropriate and check operation,
  • Test for at least 10 days, set time keeping and record rate achieved,
  • Deliver clock, guarantee and report to owner
  • Set up at owners address if required.

Repairs:

  • Clock fallen off the wall, been knocked over or part worn out? Don’t despair! We can manufacture most parts required in our workshop from raw materials covering: pivots, wheels, pinions, escape wheels, pallets, shafts, pipes, barrels, replace springs and lines etc. Please call for more information.

Dial and Hand Restoration:

  • We undertake hand restoration. For dials, we use external artists and restorers to give you the very best quality job.

Case Restoration:

  • We undertake some Case Restoration. For highly specialised or extensive restoration we use external craftsmen of the highest standard.

Broken clock, of little but sentimental value?:

  • We can “take a look” for you, but this comes with no guarantee, can only be offered on clocks of no financial value and takes the lowest priority in our work load. We cannot offer free pick-up and drop-off. Bring the patient to us and we will see what we can do! Please call for details.

Want a very special clock made to order?:

  • We can undertake complete clock movement and case design and manufacture. However, this is extremely costly and time consuming!! If you are interested, please call and see our Projects section.

Now it runs perfectly!

This contemporary mantle clock started to slow and required more frequent winding (early stopping)
Luckily, it has a sealed case and so the movement was clean. Servicing bought it back to life and now it keeps excellent time

This fine English Dial clock required a re-bushing, pivots burnishing, dial repainting, new gut between the main spring and fusee and re-graining of the thick English brass plates. We are told it has been running well now for over 9 years. It is about time for a re-service now.
