With over 40 years' experience, I repair antique and modern clocks and barometers at very affordable rates. I specialise in mechanical clock movements and mercury barometers but can repair many types of battery clocks, too. However, I do not repair watches, nor any type of mains-powered clock because I am not a qualified electrician. See my very extensive website for over 60 pages of helpful tips and advice on how you may be able to repair your own clock.

Excellent work highly recommend

Excellent work and highly recommend. Repaired a clock I bought with an unusual problem stopping at the same point every 12 hours.
Horologica knew exactly what was needed and fixed it very quickly and reasonably priced. The new movement was a little noisy for my liking, without hesitation this was replaced with the old movement that was repaired for me. Goes above and beyond for a happy customer. Thank you.

Resposta da Horologica - affordable clock & barometer repairs

Thanks for posting your encouraging comments. Unusually for a quartz clock, and a brand new one at that, it stopped regularly but as the movement was Chinese, the better option was a replacement European High Torque movement. However, it was noisier so I asked for it back and fixed the original movement instead.

Clock conversion to quartz movement

Horological converted my old wall clock to run on a quartz movement as the clockwork motor was worn out,his emails explained what the pros and cons were of converting, and what the work involved, I am very pleased with the results ,the cost was reasonable and I would have no hesitation in using him again

Resposta da Horologica - affordable clock & barometer repairs

Thanks for leaving the post. I don't often do this sort of conversion to quartz - probably only five times in total - but each one has specific reasons. The original hands could not be used as they are too heavy for quartz but I matched them pretty closely with some lightweight ones so that from the front, it would take a trained eye to spot the conversion. I'm delighted you were pleased with the results.

pendulum clock

So glad to have my pendulum clock back working. I was given a detailed explanation of the possible problem and had a prompt update once I delivered it. Could not be happier

Resposta da Horologica - affordable clock & barometer repairs

Thanks for taking time to post a review. This was another case where based purely on a telephone call I'd estimated up to £300 to supply and fit a brand new 3-train quarter-chiming movement after the existing one (over 30 years old) had failed completely. But when it arrived, I could see the problem and the repair cost was just a tiny fraction of that. I'm always pleased when this happens because fitting a new movement seems so wasteful of the planet's resources. So a really nice outcome.

Our 1930s mantel clock is ticking again…

Our 1930s mantel clock is ticking again thanks to Gordon. In addition to bringing it back to working order, Gordon provided information about the origins of the clock, how to keep it running and what he had done to repair the problem. Excellent service and highly recommended.

Thanks for taking time out to leave this review. It was an interesting job - you offered to donate to me your old family clock because it was not worth repairing but when you dropped it off, I spotted the problem and got it running again. Very kindly, you generously made a donation to my sponsored charity - Prostate Cancer UK - via the link on my Men Only webpage. Thank you so much for that.

I am so impressed

I am so impressed. Where we are there are not many people capable and those there are have bad reputations so I only contacted Horologica as a last resort with very little expectation but am left with nothing but admiration.
He had very little to gain from helping me as I did intend to do what I could to get my clock working again yet he was so patient and knowledgeable that when I came to work on my clock I did it with a degree of confidence I wouldn't otherwise have had.
I imagine people like him are very few and far between so thank you so much Gordon.

Lovely review - thanks. This often happens; someone calls and I talk over the probable causes and instil a little confidence, walking through with them the technique to restoring it to working order without charge (although I might invite them to donate to my sponsored charity - Prostate Cancer UK - through the link on my Men Only webpage.

Amazing experience

Amazing experience! My mum had a clock which was very sentimental to her and just stopped working. Gordon was great with communication, worked around when I was free to drop and collect and managed to fix it in a day for great value! Thank you so much!!

Resposta da Horologica - affordable clock & barometer repairs

Thanks for taking time to post a Review. It was a fairly simple matter of swapping out an old broken quartz movement in a wall clock with a new German one, using existing hands so the finished appearance remained original.

Outstanding Service

The service was second to none. I was advised with regards to my enquiry from the first contact to the last. Very helpful, friendly service. Definately would recommend.

Thanks for leaving a Review. These 400 day Anniversary torsion clocks can be temperamental which is why finding a repairer willing to take them on is so difficult. I've have my fair share of problem ones and this proved to be a challenging example but it was finally sorted.

First class service from Gordon

Gordon replaced the mechanism and carried out minor replacements to two quartz movement clocks. Each took less than 24 hours to complete. He does this work as a hobby rather than a business, and his not for profit charges are very reasonable. I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone requiring work on any sort of clock.

Resposta da Horologica - affordable clock & barometer repairs

Thanks for the Review. I see an increasing number of quartz clocks. The Chinese makes don't tend to last, especially when long hands are fitted for fashionable large-dial wall clocks. so I try and fit high torque European ones. Very happy with the results here.

Excellent and reasonably priced service

I sent my torsion pendulum (anniversary) clock to Gordon to see if he could get it running again. He gave me a detailed appraisal of the clock and kept me updated as to how he was getting on with it, and told me at each stage what my options were and how much he would charge. His prices were very reasonable and the clock is now back in place and working, so I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.

Resposta da Horologica - affordable clock & barometer repairs

Thanks for the time you took to post a Review. Torsion 400 day Anniversary clocks are often troublesome if previously overhauled and (unnecessarily) rebushed or pallets adjusted and then time-keeping and testing takes longer. Three months is longer than I would like but I'm glad it was finally achieved.

Resposta da Horologica - affordable clock & barometer repairs

Thanks for the Review. Some modern mechanical clocks, like this one, have German movements by Hermle and they tend to need attention after 5-7 years. But after 20 years or so, they usually exhibit so much wear that it's actually no more expensive to swap the movement for a brand new Hermle movement of the same type, which is what was done here. The clock is now as good as new because the mechanics ARE new. And much cheaper than a new clock.

Thank you for your help & advice…

I recently took possession of a carriage clock and didn’t think it worked. I called Horologica thinking it might need to be repaired and spoke to a lovely man who was very knowledgeable and talked me through how to get it going and also told me a bit about the clock. It’s now working and sounds lovely. Thank you so much for the time you gave me and didn’t charge a penny. I will definitely call again if it does need servicing.

Another example of advice given over the phone. Whereas some repairers will take the clock in, perform a lot of work on it at considerable cost, I will tend to find less costly and faster solutions based on decades of experience. In this case FREE altogether, all done the same day, and I didn't even see the clock. Thanks for taking the time to post a Review.

Excellent service

My antique barometer had stopped working and I delivered this to Gordon who virtually had to rebuild it as it had been built incorrectly on the last repair. It’s now working fine and looks all sparkly as he has given it a makeover.
Lovely professional job. Thank you Gordon.

Resposta da Horologica - affordable clock & barometer repairs

Nice Review - thanks. This was an odd one because at some point in the past, the aneroid barometer has been rebuilt back to front with the result that a lever was jammed and the pointer didn't move. A strip down, ultrasonic clean of the loose parts, and rebuild the right way round with lubricants and it is working again.

Clock problem sorted promptly

I contacted Gordon by email about a clock which wouldn't run. Reply came within 1 hour, giving free advice which enabled me to sort the problem, and the clock is now fine. Excellent service, thank you very much Gordon.

Good of you to to reciprocate with a nice Review. I get lots of calls like this and often the solution is a simple adjustment that anyone can perform if told how to do it. I tend to encourage a donation to Prostate Cancer UK through the link on my website at the page called Men Only but it's completely optional . I just like to feel I've assisted in making someone happy.

My antique mantlepiece clock…

My antique mantlepiece clock unfortunately fell off the mantlepiece. Gordon at Horologica took on the job of getting it back up and running properly with a great deal of attention and detail. It is returned and running far better than it has done in years and all at very reasonable cost.

After many years of silence

After many years of silence, and not being able to find a clock repairer, our beautiful wall clock is now restored and working beautifully. Thank you so much Horologica. We are thrilled.

Gordon loves his craft and understands clocks and hearts

Gordon loves his craft and understands that however much you care about your clock, your budget is finite. I found (as everybody else has) that he gives a clear and realistic assessment of what can be done. He's a craftsman with great experience who will make the most sustainable repair possible. Go with his advice and pace, you can absolutely entrust your clock to him. My 'beyond economic repair' Edwardian mantel clock is back home and is set to be good for years.

I contacted Horologica about repairing a Barometer…

I contacted Horologica about repairing a Barometer which formerly belonged to my grandparents a very sentimental item which I spent many times tapping as child. The price was as quoted and the Barometer looks like new being over 60 years old thank you Horologica for your professional and caring attention.
