I no longer do clock repairs, unfortunately! A watchmaking workshop needs to be set up rather differently to a clock repair workshop, and the techniques and equipment are very different. As my watchmaking work has increased, I have had to make my workshop more specialized.

For high-quality clocks in need of expert restoration, I can recommend the following people in Ireland:

Nigel Swanwick, based in Carrickmines, Co. Dublin

Kevin Chellar of Timepiece Antiques on Patrick Street, Dublin 2

Alan Rafter in Churchtown, Dublin 14

Alternatively, you can contact Horology Ireland to get advice on where to get your clock restored. Horology Ireland is a community of approximately 80 members, with a broad mix of professional, semi-professional and amateur horologists who would be keen to help.
