I am a Cambridge University Graduate and member of the British Clock and Watchmaker's guild, based in rural Suffolk. With a fascination for engineering and horology I delight in the ingenuity of clock mechanisms, and admire the extraordinary work carried out in simple workshops long ago.
I normally recommend a conservative approach, intending to restore the reliability and timekeeping of the clock without erasing its history and charm.
My speciality is the mechanical element - the conservation and overhaul of clock movements. Whilst I do clean the case of every clock I receive, I do not carry out cabinet repair work.
I can normally give an idea of the basic service costs based on photos of the clock and its movement. Should wear or damage be found requiring additional work, I will always contact the customer. Prices for larger clocks include collection and delivery when mutually convenient, within 25 miles of Eye, Suffolk. I am a sole trader so visits must be by appointment only.

Lenkirch "Vienna Regulator"
Lenkirch "Vienna Regulator"
Strictly speaking this clock is German, not Viennese, but most people call clocks of this type "Vienna Regulators". This one is by Lenzkirch, arguably the finest factory made clocks of this type.
The clock had some damage due to damp storage - leaving the steel components rusted - all were polished and heat blued where appropriate. The pallets were grooved after 100 years of use. Refacing them using a shop-made bolt tool and lapping films brought them back to a perfect mirror finish. Timekeeping is now excellent as you would expect from a clock of this type.
