- House call to evaluate the movement, cables, pulleys and chime train
- Full movement removal, ultrasonic cleaning and pivot burnishing
- Bushing work on worn pivot holes that cause stopping

- Dial re-silvering and sympathetic paint touch-in
- Veneer, moulding and finial repair with period-appropriate materials

Mantel & Shelf Clock Repair
Small spring-driven clocks take the most handling damage. Most of what arrives on our bench needs cleaning, a fresh mainspring and correct end-shake before it will keep time again.
- Mainspring inspection, replacement and proper greasing
- Platform escapement service on carriage and 400-day clocks
- Strike train timing so the hour matches the hands

Cuckoo Clock Repair
Cuckoo movements fail in predictable places: dried bellows tops, stretched chains and worn count wheels. We rebuild the sound before we rebuild the timekeeping.
- Bellows top replacement in leather or paper as original
- Gong wire, whistle pipe and reed tuning
- Chain, ratchet and weight-hook replacement

Clock Movement Replacement
Sometimes replacement is the honest recommendation — mass-produced movements, water damage or missing parts. We fit the correct hand shaft length so the dial still looks right.
- Hermle, Kieninger and Urgos replacement movements
- Quartz conversion for decorative and battery clocks
- Correct shaft length, hand fitting and dial spacing

Clock Cleaning & Oiling
Oil turns abrasive long before a clock stops. Regular cleaning every five to seven years is far cheaper than the bushing work that comes after neglect.
- Complete disassembly and ultrasonic cleaning
- Correct clock oil applied only at load-bearing pivots
- Mainspring barrel cleaning and re-grease
