Antique Clock Repairs & Restoration

Antique clock repairs & restoration

I offer a restoration and repair service for clocks covering all aspects – movements, dials and cases.  Most of the work is carried out my own workshop. Movements are fully dismantled repaired and cleaned, then re-assembled and tested.

New wheels are cut and fitted and any necessary replacement parts made to original pattern and specification. Dials can be re silvered using traditional methods, brass work and spandrels cleaned polished and lacquered. Painted dials re-touched or fully restored depending on condition.

Please call to discus your clock repair or restoration.

About Us & Our Restoration Services

My horological education started in 1967 attending the 2-year full time British Horological Institute sponsored course at Hackney Technical College. This course offered training in both watch and clock making with the time being split between the workshop, horological theory and technical drawing.

The examination was set by the B.H.I leading to qualification.

On leaving collage I worked for Aubrey Brocklehurst in the Cromwell Road, West London. A well established dealer in fine Antique clocks, where my education in the repair and restoration of antique clocks was completed.

In 1971 I formed a business partnership and started the Clock Clinic in Putney. This was an Antique Clock sales and restoration business. I was the manager and ran the workshop for 10 years building the business to be successful, profitable, and well respected.

In 1980 having met my wife Maxine we decided to move to the country so we found ourselves in Kent. We lived and worked there for nearly 30 years.

In 2012 we decided to move to the West Sussex town of East Grinstead. Our home and workshop used to be in the historic High Street opposite Church Lane.
