Berkshire Clock Repair is a family-run business specialising in the careful servicing and restoration of fine and antique clocks.
Founded and led by Magdalena, the practice is built on patience, discretion, and a deep respect for traditional workmanship. Each clock is treated as an individual object, with attention given not only to its mechanical condition, but also to its age, setting, and long-term care.
Established in Wargrave, Berkshire Clock Repair reflects a distinctly Home Counties approach to craft — thoughtful, measured, and attuned to the expectations of private households and period interiors. Over time, Magdalena has developed trusted relationships with clients across Berkshire and the surrounding counties, many of whom return with successive pieces and family heirlooms.
While the practice now accepts commissions from a wider area, it remains rooted in careful assessment, clear communication, and a traditionally English approach to clock care.
Initial Inspection and Discussion
Each clock is individually assessed, taking into account its age, type, condition, and history. During the initial inspection, the likely cause of any problem is discussed and the work required to return the clock to good running order is explained.
Where possible, an indication of likely costs is given at this stage, and no work is undertaken without the client’s agreement. Any formal record of the work carried out is provided at the conclusion of the repair, together with the invoice.
Once the inspection is complete and you have agreed the recommended approach, the next stage is the careful execution of the work and the return of your clock to regular use.
Careful Repair and Return to Service
Once agreement has been reached, the work required is carried out with care and attention appropriate to the age, type, and condition of the clock. Repairs are undertaken sympathetically, with the aim of preserving original components wherever possible and intervening only where necessary.
Following repair and reassembly, the clock is tested to ensure it is running reliably and keeping good time. Where required, assistance is also given with the safe installation and setting-up of the clock in the home, so that it can be returned to regular use with confidence.
At the end of this process your clock will be fully serviced, tested for reliable performance, and returned to you in proper working order.
