Antique clock restoration in Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire
I specialise in the repair and restoration of all types of antique clock:
Longcase, Bracket, French mantle and Carriage clocks and many others.
With over 40 years experience and a 1st pass in my British Horological Institute Final Exam I offer a thorough and quality service completing overhauls to the highest standard
I was lucky to have been taught in the traditional way, just catching the end of a golden era of education where training was free and detailed. We even made a clock as part of the course.
Free home visits for collection and delivery 25 miles around Malvern
1 year guarantee for all restorations
Going the extra mile
The work I do is very thorough rather as seen on “The Repair Shop”. I treat all clocks the same no matter how cheap or expensive they were originally. I strive to do this at a competitive rate, actually giving great value for money.
Case work is also available by a local antique furniture restorer and clock case specialist.
By the time a clock comes it almost never just needs a clean. An overhaul always includes the following:
-regrinding and polishing pivots that run in the plates
-a lot of bushing work (to provide new bearings)
-regrinding and polishing the pallets (the working faces that produce the ticking sound!)
-a great range of miscellaneous odd jobs, often making good on past repairs
-a thorough clean
-new weight lines or springs etc
