Berkshire Clock Repair is a small family business originally conceived to service and repair clocks for local village folk. It all started years ago in Bermuda when the business co-founder was living and working there. He was given the unofficial title of “Master of the Clocks” to the Bermuda National Museum by the museum’s president. Joseph Giret developed this passion for service and repair when he returned to the UK with his wife Magdalena. Together they developed the business locally, now accepting commissions from a wider pool around Berkshire.
About Us
Each individual clock is different in its requirements. We take care to analyse exactly what is required to get the clock running well again. Sometimes all that’s required is a clean and service. Other times the clock has to have parts repaired. Joseph and Magdalena will take a clock in for a full inspection and then advise on diagnosis and costs. This is the first stage of service and repair.
Once the first initial inspection and analysis stage is completed a full report is provided to you, setting out remedies and likely costs of repair. We will only progress to the second stage of service and repair once you have given authorisation. No expenditure will be made without first obtaining full authority.
Testimonials "I found Joseph Giret through an advert in the Wargrave News - after examination of my old pine grandmother clock he gave me an appraisal and a report including estimated cost for repair. Joseph kept me updated re progress and took great care of her and I am delighted to say she is now back home working beautifully! Thank you. Mary Jo O’Sullivan."
Testimonials "I took a family heirloom cuckoo clock to Joseph which was over 50 years old and wasn’t working at all. I was impressed with the care and attention he took in assessing what was needed and the pleasure it gave him to mend. Not only did he get the clock working and provide instructions on how to look after it, but he also helped to install it in my home. Many thanks Elizabeth and Sean Sutcliffe"
