Estimates - there are many reasons why a clock stops running. I can make a preliminary visit to a clock in situ, or it can be brought to my Arundel workshop, for a detailed health check. It may require a service, some repairs, or full restoration. I provide a free estimate of all costs.

Servicing is important to keep the clock in good working order and to minimise wear and damage. It also helps to maintain the financial value of the clock. Servicing involves dismantling the mechanism, checking each component for wear and tear, cleaning, lubricating, adjusting, and testing. A clock should be serviced at least every four years.

Repairs to a clock are usually needed if it has been neglected and wear and corrosion have set in. Some parts may have to be re-made.

Restoration involves skilled workmanship and professional knowledge and experience. I pay attention to every detail necessary until I am satisfied that the clock is running as is should. All work is fully guaranteed.
