| We carry out
comprehensive repair of movement, in particular our specialty
being long case and fusee movements. The restoration
process in such a movement would involve the following:
Work that may have been
carried out on clocks during the 1930's/40's will
have been done so using soft solder. We remove this
solder and restore in a proper fashion for the period.
In fact, many of the clocks we restore arrive at our
workshop in appalling condition, with badly soldered and
hammered joints.
We carry out
work on a variety of clocks, from small carriage clocks
and long cases to turret clocks in Churches and
Cathedrals. We acknowledge the fact that aesthetically
you will want your timepiece to remain in it's period,
and we have the experience to carry this out. Woodworm
is cured, missing parts are replaced and wood is crafted
from matching timbers. Below are a few example pictures
of clock face painting and movement restorations currently being undertaken, which can
be enlarged by clicking the images.
