All clocks are delicate, finely-tuned mechanisms that need regular check-ups and maintenance. If you fail to take proper care of them, you run the risk of damaging the delicate machinery inside. Taking care of your clock means not only having it repaired when it breaks down, but scheduling it for routine maintenance. For the best specialists in grandfather clock repair, antique clock repair, and clock restoration, call the Tic Toc Shop. With over 50 years of experience serving the Greater Cincinnati area, Tic Toc Shop will ensure your complex timepieces are running smoothly.

Antique clocks such as cuckoo and grandfather clocks are often heirlooms passed down through families for generations. In some cases, these clocks may have been marking time since before you were born, and they require special attention and may frequently need repairs or maintenance.

To keep your clock in good working order, have it cleaned, adjusted, and oiled every two to three years by a specialist. Fragile cogs and hard-to-replace parts should pose no problem for an experienced clock repair technician. If you hear muffled machinery or malfunctioning chimes, or notice the clock is keeping time incorrectly, bring in a technician as soon as possible. For battery-powered clocks, expired batteries, in particular, can wreak havoc on a clock’s gears. Some people leave old batteries in their clocks for too long, leading to corrosion and leaking acid. This can result in the entire mechanism being ruined.

The professionals at the Tic Top Shop are real time-savers when it comes to grandfather clock repair, as they will come directly to your home when needed. Rather than worrying about transporting your clock to a repair shop, which could likely cause more damage, you can simply schedule an appointment for grandfather clock repair at your own convenience.
