Michael Barnell Clock Repairs

Michael painstaking restored my French slate chiming clock to perfect working order. Lovely to have this family heirloom back home chiming happily. Professional and expert service - thank you.

Michael recently renovated and repaired my mother’s carriage clock and returned it to a pristine condition despite dodgy repairs previously undertaken elsewhere. Michael is very pleasant, knowledgeable and experienced and provided the first documentation the clock has had since it was new. I would recommend Michael’s work without hesitation. The clock is now ticking merrily away in our front room reminding us of my mum every day.

Working with Michael has been an absolute pleasure. Highly skilled, innovative thinker/designer and equally professional. Highly recommended!

Michael restored my badly damaged carriage clock and serviced my long case clock. He kept me informed of progress with the repairs, was interested in my clocks and when he delivered the clocks to me, I received a full report with photographs. A very skilled and pleasant craftsman who I would highly recommend.

Michael repaired and serviced three clock for me recently and I must say, I was most impressed by his commitment, enthusiasm and professionalism. All three clock had been neglected for many years and certainly hadn’t worked for at least a decade. Michael collected and returned the clocks following their refurbishment and I’m so pleased now that they’re back on the walls and working efficiently and keeping very good time considering their age. Not only were the clocks repaired but Michael gave me a comprehensive report on each one detailing work done and information about their manufacture and origins and this was particularly welcome as one clock has been in the family for well over one hundred years. It’s so pleasing and equally reassuring to find someone who has so much dedication, passion and pride in his work and I have no hesitation in recommending him, his level of service is first class and rarely experienced!

I spoke to Michael regarding my Cuckoo Clock and he gave me some instructions, which were extremely helpful and resolved the issue. Perfect Service and many thanks indeed.

Excellent service. He said it would not be quick, so I was happy with a longish wait. Expensive but worth it for an excellent job.

Very pleased with the repair and service of my French slate clock. Michael was very knowledgeable and gave me some very useful information on my clock. Would definitely recommend!

Top quality work...on time, on budget ...good for another 100 years.

Michael restored a family heirloom to a pristine condition and it now has pride of place in our dining room. Not only did he restore this late 19th Century American shelf clock and set it to work, he also provided its provenance and age, neither of which we were aware of. Lastly, he provided a comprehensive written report of the work carried out, together with progress photographs and also included concise instructions for operation and future care. All in all, an absolute pleasure to deal with such a professional and talented craftsman. Wish I had more clocks to send him!
