South West Clock & Watch Restoration Specialists
I offer a full clock restoration service for every discipline of restoration work that may be required. This includes movements, dials and cases along with silvering, gilding and hand engraving. Whether it is a complete re-painting of a dial or the sympathetic restoration of existing work, this sits perfectly within our expert capabilities.
Most work is carried out in house with our highly equipped Horology based workshop located in Gloucestershire. You are welcome to visit my showroom in Stonehouse and Evesham. It’s a great place to drop of your clock and explore the local area. Stonehouse high street has a wealth of shops and good restaurants the town is nestled in the heart of the Cotswold’s. When restoring clocks, we are understanding of the original style and appearance of your clock we make sure the period integrity of your clock is preserved by only using traditional period materials and techniques, thus ensuring it is accurately restored to its former original glory.
I have a specialist clock & watch workshop in a private secure location where we complete the restoration of your clock. You can drop your clock or watch off at our new high street shop in Stonehouse, or I can collect if you prefer. I do offer a full collection and delivery with set up service please call for more details. If requested, I will make an appointment to come out and collect your clock from your home. This service is subject to a call out charge that will reflect the distance I have to travel. Once I have collected and your clock arrives at the workshop, I will inspect the clock or watch fully if work needed comes over the price guide I will contact you with a new price, including an estimated timescale for the completion of the work.
If you do not wish to proceed you can collect the clock or watch from the showroom free of charge. If you wish to proceed at this point, we will then complete the restoration agreed. Invoice will need will be produced we require 50% upfront before work will commence. When the work is complete you can pay the out standing 50% on collection or delivery. We will then make an appointment to deliver and set up your clock in situ at agreed charge. If you wish you can collect from the showroom which is free of charge just let me know when you are coming, so we can have the clock ready for you.
On collection or delivery, we also explain and advise the best way to operate and care for you clock going forward, along with a printed copy of operation and care instructions for your clock.
