We are now fully open to the public to both receive and collect work, and are able to conduct house visits. My sincere thanks to The Clock Workshop for its excellent service and for restoring my carriage clock, which has worked perfectly ever since. Having tried several other clock repairers, I had almost given up hope - my faith in craftmanship has been restored!
Services
At The Clock Workshop in Reading all our staff have over 35 years' experience in horological restoration. While we are all able to tackle most jobs, each of us has expertise in particular fields, including major rebuilds of early English work, Carriage clock restoration and replacements (including the delicate work required for platform overhaul and repair), Barometer restoration and Marine Chronometer work.
Our clock restoration department was originally started in 1981 by John Yealland to provide a bespoke service for London dealers. This included major replacement work, as well as full overhauls of high quality clocks. Since that time, The Clock Workshop in Reading has expanded to a highly experienced team, initially trained in the British Horological Institute and the West Dean College courses.
At The Clock Workshop in Reading we research, design and manufacture all missing movement parts in keeping with the original. While we have appropriate clockmakers' and watchmakers' lathes, most of the work is done by hand in our own workshop. Clock making and repairing is an old art and our workshop practices are inherited from years of experience garnered by the thousands of clockmakers that have gone before us.

If you have a well loved venerable old timepiece which is in need of some TLC, John at the Clock Workshop is your man. A visit to the shop was fascinating. Speaking to John and seeing the work currently in progress was all we needed to convince us of the superb craftsmanship, attention to detail and commitment to the very highest standards. I'm so pleased we found them; it's good to know that although they are no longer common, the skills and knowledge to repair treasured old clocks does still exist. Thanks

We recently had a Barometer restored by the Clock workshop and we are over the moon with the final result! When we dropped it off at the workshop we were informed it would be with them for some time due to the nature of the work and how busy they are - we were kept updated with progress reports. You can see the true craftsmanship in the final result and it works perfectly! The team are lovely too, really helpful and friendly, Would highly recommend!
