We are Hampton Horology
Specialist clock servicing, restoration & repair
We are Hampton Horology We are passionate about all things clockwork and count it as a great privilege to work with all manner of clocks.
Our Master Horologist Gary Richards initially established his business in the area twenty-five years ago. However, since re-locating to the beautiful Sussex Coast, his existing London client base have been very keen to continue entrusting him with the repair and service of their valuable clockwork treasures.
In order to continue catering for the needs of our customers in the Southwest London area we established Hampton Horology.
Simply book an appointment to drop your clock into, Catherine, our London based colleague. We will then drive your item to our purpose-built Sussex Workshop, where Gary will assess the maintenance or restoration required and call you to discuss the estimated time and cost.
We know that clocks are usually of great sentimental value to our customers, and we love to hear of their individual history and provenance. That’s why we treat each clock with the same quality of care, regardless of its monetary value.
At Hampton Horology we can offer all the reliable professional expertise you’ve come to expect from Gary Richards with the level of tailored, personal, service and peace of mind which comes with a small, local business.
