"A conservative approach is taken to any project by avoiding ‘aggressive’ cleaning techniques and, where repairs are necessary, keeping as much of the original material as possible."

​

All movement servicing, conservation and restoration work is undertaken by our clock conservator (Dip. West Dean), MA (conservation) David Burton



Davids work focuses on the conservation of good quality mainly English movements, proposals for any given piece of work are discussed with clients and a suitable approach is agreed prior to proceeding.



Although it is important for movements to be clean and heavy oil and dirt deposits removed, techniques exist to achieve this aim without removing the appearance of age or the natural patina that has built up over the years.
