What We Do
Guarenteed Overhauls
An overhaul includes a complete dismantle, repair and clean of the clock mechanism but is not limited to this.
Finish all pivots and burnish
After many years of service, the pivots of the mechanism will need to be refinished and burnished to reduce friction in the mechanism. If a pivot is so worn or damaged beyond practicable repair, replacing the pivot may be necessary.
Restoration of Bearings
This is where we find the original centre of worn bearings, correct and re-bush where necessary.
Refacing
If there are any worn surfaces, for example the pallets of the escapement or some striking components. components can be refaced to remedy worn acting surfaces.
Replace broken Parts
In our workshop, parts can be replaced or recreated along with the replacement of broken or ineffective mainsprings.
Line Replacement
Longcase clocks are usually weight driven, we can replace the driving weight line so the mechanism gives reliable service.
Assembly and Troubleshooting
Once the wear and tear has been addressed the mechanism is assembled and lubricated. After assembly, the mechanism is tested out of the case and without the dial to highlight any faults or adjustments that may be required.
Mechanism Testing
All mechanisms are tested, along with some final timekeeping adjustments. Prior to customer delivery
