Clock repairers: home visits for longcase clocks

A longcase clock can't come to the workshop on a bus. Repairs start with a home visit: assess the movement, level the case, sometimes take the movement away. With Book, owners book a home visit on your own booking page on the days you're in their area, and you book the return visit from your list.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples. Leave the return visit price empty if it's part of the repair price.

Create home visit services per area and day, with travel included in the slot. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Each online booking takes one place, and a booked visit leaves your page.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for the type of clock, maker if known, what's wrong and whether it was recently moved. Ask for photos of the dial and movement by email.

When the movement is repaired, book the return and reinstallation yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the owner gets a confirmation with a calendar file.

Clocks moved without care stop running. Offer a set-up visit after a house move, and say in the description to leave the pendulum and weights removed until you arrive.

Owners can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes and sends no reminders. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't track movements in the workshop, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on battery and strap appointments. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
