Antique Clock Repairs and Restoration

  
 
We specialise in all aspects of repair to –  
Antique Clock Mechanism
   
        Antique Longcase (GRANDFATHER) clocks
  Wall Clocks
  Bracket Clocks
  French Clocks – striking or otherwise
  Carriage Clocks – up to & including Grand Sonnerie
  Vienna Regulators
  American Clocks – all types
  German Clocks – all types
 
     
 
In the vast majority of cases, the clock which you inherited, the one that hasn't been going for years, or the one which keeps poor time – will only need an overhaul and clean.
  
     
 
We work within the guidelines in terms of price and code of practice of the British Watch & Clock Makers Guild, founded in 1907.
 
     
 
When your clock is taken in for repair, we will supply you with an estimate based on the expected work required. Additional parts occasionally are needed which will be purchased or made. This doesn't happen very often. The vast majority of clocks simply require a standard overhaul and clean to ensure it keeps good time.
 
     
 
Overhauls that we carry out always start with complete dismantling, followed by re-bushing pivot holes, polishing pivots and palettes, cleaning and lubricating all parts, followed by re-assembly, bench testing and regulating.

Occasionally these prices may be exceeded for the reasons given above, but we will do our utmost to forewarn of any additional charges before carrying out the work.

  
 

With regard to picking up and returning and setting-up of a clock or timepiece, we are very happy to undertake this service, but obviously we would have to charge a fee, which is dependant upon distance travelled.

  
 

If you wish to deliver and pick up the clock yourself, we are very happy to advise how to put your clock ‘in beat' yourself - for instance, you can ring when you get home and we'll help when you've got the clock in position.
