We repair all types of mechanical spring- and weight-driven clocks. All work is undertaken in our well equipped workshops, and we work closely with industry specialists and local business to ensure that no job is beyond repair. We have close links to some of the best ancillary specialists in the country such as the dial and furniture restorers who often hide from the public eye.
Clocks require regular and thorough mechanical overhauls. They are often littered with past attempts to patch, rather than correct underlying issues. We aim to correct these previous misguided repairs, with a sympathetic nod toward conservation where original parts can be reliably saved. Any replacement components are made in such a way as to blend seamlessly with the original
Thorough Cleaning:
- Mechanisms are meticulously hand cleaned to remove corrosion, old solder, and to brighten the brass.
- Pivots are polished, teeth are straightened, and wear grooves are filled using modern microwelding technology.
- The clock is returned as close as possible to its original state.
- We use ultrasonic technology and specially formulated horological cleaning solutions as a final clean to ensure longevity.
Aesthetic Repairs (Optional):
Although we insist on mechanical perfection, or as close as can be acheived in 200 year old steel and brass, Aesthetic repairs are optional, and therefore a chance to keep the costs down in your restoration. Hands can be repaired and refinished to their original heat blued state, or polished brass appearance, Dials can be replated, wax filled, Enamel repaired, and painted dials repainted, glass can be custom made and wooden or brass cases can be fully restored
Please Note:
- While we strive for mechanical perfection, we recognize the limitations of working with 200-year-old steel and brass.
