Derek & Tina Rayment

Our clients are based all over the world, so we can organise collection and re-delivery with the utmost care and attention to detail. So if you are looking for a beautifully timeless gift for a loved one, or have a barometer that is in need of a little care and attention please get in touch. 50 years ago I decided to hang-up my professional cricket bat. To be honest I wasn’t good enough, and after a brief dalliance with ballroom dancing (my elder brother ran a dancing school with his wife) I decided to redirect my energy into what became a life-long passion for restoring and repairing antique barometers and other such instruments. I began learning my trade when I joined a small family business in Clerkenwell, London – which manufactured new instruments. However I immediately was drawn into the world of antiquity when old broken barometers were brought in for restoration and after a short while, in 1972, I decided to start my own concern. Now after many years together with my lovely wife Tina, we’ve had over 15,000 items pass through our workshops which we have either restored, repaired or sold.
