Berkshire Clock Repair is a family-run business specialising in the careful servicing and restoration of fine and antique clocks.
The practice draws on experience developed overseas through Magdalena’s husband, who spent a period living and working in Bermuda, where he became informally known as “Master of the Clocks” at the Bermuda National Museum. That experience shaped a deep respect for traditional workmanship and careful conservation.
On returning to the UK, Magdalena established Berkshire Clock Repair in Wargrave, applying those principles within a distinctly Home Counties context. With a detailed understanding of period interiors, domestic settings, and the expectations of private households, she has built the business locally, developing trusted, long-standing client relationships across Berkshire and the surrounding counties.
Today, the practice continues to accept commissions from a wider area while remaining rooted in discretion, patience, 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.
