- Where
- York, North Yorkshire · local collection
- Status

02 What comes to the bench
Four kinds of piece. One patient bench.
The workshop lists these as its repair and restoration work. Each piece has its own assessment.
-
01
Longcase clocks
Tall-case movements, their pendulums and weights, and the cases that hold them. Collection can be arranged locally in the York area.
-
02
Mantel & bracket clocks
From repairing a stopped movement to restoring painted dials and cases.
-
03
Wall & early electric clocks
Wall-hung pendulum clocks and early electric clocks, each assessed on its own mechanism.
-
04
Antique barometers
Antique barometers sit alongside clocks in the workshop's listed restoration work.
03 Behind the dial
Listen. Open. Polish. Set it in beat.
How a restoration generally unfolds. An illustration of the craft, not a record of a specific job.
Listen
What is the clock doing, and what changed? A stopped, uneven or silent clock tells the restorer where to look first.
Open the movement
Wheels, anchor and pendulum each need their own attention once the plates are apart.
Bring back the dial
The workshop lists brass dial silvering and lacquering and hand re-bluing among its finishing work.
Set it in beat
Reassembled and regulated, the tick and the tock fall evenly again. Once it is home, a pendulum clock may still need positioning.

05 How a place works
From an email to an even beat.
- I
Email to ask for a place
The workshop's notice invites email to join its virtual waiting list. Nothing is booked by asking.
- II
The workshop replies
Marshall Clocks decides whether and when it can take a piece on. Please don't visit without an appointment.
- III
By appointment, or local collection
Work is strictly by appointment, with local collection in the York area.
- IV
Home, level and in beat
After it returns, a pendulum clock may need correct positioning and regulation.
Why setup matters: hear the beat
A pendulum clock on an uneven floor can tick unevenly, "tick… tock-tick". Tilt the illustrated case and watch the spacing.
Out of beat: the tock arrives early. The workshop handles this kind of setup.
06 The virtual waiting list
Worth the wait.
The workshop's published notice says it is not currently taking on new work. Prepare a clear note asking for a place. This page sends nothing and reserves nothing.
