All work is tailored for the needs of our individual customers and their clocks,

We have a highly skilled engineer, Steve, who has 41 years experience in the business behind him. Steve first gained his interest in clocks when he was 15 and followed in his family's footsteps as bell makers. After an apprenticeship at Gillett & Johnston, he furthered his engineering skills in a workshop making precision test equipment for industry. This helped him gain all the life skills he needed which are used in clock making.

Pride in our work is our finest quality coupled with our keen awareness of health and safety and following the guidelines rigorously. Cscs / Ukata/ First aid /Fire control/ Manual handling & Ladder training, are all given to the engineer. We are also covered with liability insurance.

Conservation practices are also strictly adhered to, as laid out by the BHI.AHI & ICON.

 

We have a well equipped workshop to cover all aspects of fabrication work that needs to be done off site, bar foundry work which is outsourced.

 

We  try to accommodate all our customers with more than one option to cater for their needs.

 If dial work is required, then it might be worth thinking of tying it in with roofing work or pointing work that needs to be done to save on scaffolding costs
