Clocks can hold a lot of special memories

Repairing and servicing them can help you to hold on to these memories.

I have a restoration service for your own clocks, barometers, covering all aspects – movements, dials and cases of clocks, and tubes, mechanisms and casework of barometers. I repair all types of clock, both ancient and modern.

Movements are fully dismantled and cleaned, repaired where necessary, then re-assembled and fully tested. New wheels can be cut and fitted and any necessary replacement parts can be made to original pattern and specification.

Dials can be resilvered using traditional methods, brass work and spandrels cleaned and polished, then the whole dial lacquered to preserve the finish. Numerals can be re-waxed or re-painted if necessary.

Painted dials can be re-touched or fully restored depending on condition, and faded or rubbed numerals replaced where the originals can be traced.

Casework ranges from a light sympathetic polish and re-wax to a complete re-build. I can also deal with painted finishes e.g. English lacquer work (chinoiserie).

Mercury barometers can be re-tubed and overhauled, and aneroid barometers and barographs repaired.

Although I specialise in antique clocks we are fully equipped to repair almost any mechanical clock. If your item is not valuable, but you are fond of it, please do not hesitate to contact me.
