Services and Prices

I clean and repair all types of clock including Grandfather Clocks, Mantle Clocks, Regular Style Clocks, Carriange Clocks including 20th century electric models. Most of the clocks I repair of clean tend to have some sentimental value to their owners & I am happy undertake any repair on any clock you care to present to me.

Costs are indicative and, to quote accurately, all jobs need to be seen via photo or ideally if you could send or bring your clock to me.

Supplying Spares for your DIY clock repair

As you know from my blog I encourage my customers to do a bit of work on their clocks themselves where it is wise to do so. That said, I dont get involved in other peoples projects at an operational level;  we either do the clock or you do the clock!.  I have a similar approach on spares. I dont sell them!. That said Ill help you out if I can, I just cant afford to spend any time on supplying spares and its more than likely that if I sell a component I end up needing it myself a couple of days later.

I dont to this, I dont do that, I dont dont dont. Not exactly positive is it. My point is that Im a helpful individual, as many of my reviews point out,  as I enjoy the diagnosis and the individuality of each job I work on. If you need a suspension spring for your Smiths Mantle or any of the things I have plenty of stock of, Im more than happy to help you out. The only condition is that you come and collect it. I run the Saturday clock clinic now and part of that is just replacing a pin, washer, spring or quartz movement for an affordable price while you wait.

So I dont supply spares. But I do to help local customers out with the same ethos applied to my Saturday “walk in” service generally. If you come in on a Saturday and its something I can do for you while you wait your bill is likely to be between “Look, its a washer and a pin. I just cant charge you for that – bring it back wen it needs some proper work and Ill make my money for actually doing something” or  £30 to £60.

Thanks.
