Default Clock repairer recommendations

I appreciate that this is OT for a DIY group, but can anyone recommend a good clock repairer, ideally in Yorkshire?

The broken clock has been overwound, so I guess that means a new mainspring.. It's a mid 20th century novelty clock, fashioned in wood after an animal figure, with moving eyes. I think it is continental (Belgian, specifically)..

The owner has a sentimental attachment to it and is really keen to get it running again. The nearest repair shop seemed less than keen to fiddle with it, but I'm not sure what the issue was, nor the extent of the competence of said shop. A definitive answer from an expert would be ideal.

Cheers.

Terry.
