Choose the Scale First
The body dimensions below provide a clear starting point. Final overall height, weight, clock size and fixing arrangement depend on the roof profile, material, panels, clock package, finial and weathervane.
| Turret body | Typical use | Roof profiles | Clock package | Price guidance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 450 × 450 mm | Compact garages, outbuildings, garden buildings and smaller roof features. | Classic Pitched or Heritage Curved. | Specified separately to suit the opening and viewing distance. | From £1,200 fully finished, without clock, with standard-pitched lead roof. |
| 600 × 600 mm | Garages, stables, rural businesses and residential rooflines. | Classic Pitched or Heritage Curved. | One to four faces, subject to final design. | Individually quoted. |

Price note: The £1,200 starting price applies to a fully finished 450 × 450 mm turret without a clock and with a standard-pitched lead roof. Delivery, installation, clocks, controls, non-standard colours and bespoke upgrades are additional. VAT treatment is confirmed on the quotation.
Two signature roof profiles
Traditional Proportions, Different Character
Classic Pitched
A restrained traditional roof with clean planes, crisp eaves and balanced proportions. It works particularly well on garages, stable blocks, barn-style buildings and contemporary rural architecture.
Heritage Curved
A more decorative swept profile, individually formed to create a softer silhouette and stronger architectural focal point. It suits country estates, schools, hotels and landmark projects.
Roof material
Lead
The traditional premium choice. Genuine lead provides authentic character, proven weathering performance and a natural patina. Roof detailing is designed around the selected profile and transport method.
Roof material
Copper
A distinctive metal finish that gradually changes character as it weathers. Copper works particularly well on high-end contemporary and heritage-inspired commissions.
Roof material
Fibreglass
A lighter alternative with greater freedom of profile and finish. It can be useful where weight, budget or a specific appearance makes metal roofing less suitable.
Make it part of the building
Panels, Colours, Clocks and Weathervanes
Plain or Louvre Panels
Choose a clean plain panel, traditional louvres or a tailored combination. Ventilation and access requirements are considered as part of the design.
Virtually Any Colour
The two-pack epoxy system can be specified in a wide range of colours to complement windows, doors, masonry, cladding or brand identity.
Clock Packages
Clock faces, hands, mechanisms, master controls and illumination are sourced from established suppliers and specified separately for the project.
Weathervanes & Finials
Finish the tower with a restrained finial, traditional weathervane or individually commissioned design.
Questions about the range
Clock Tower FAQs
What standard clock tower sizes are available?
Our standard turret body sizes are 450 × 450 mm, 600 × 600 mm, 900 × 900 mm and 1200 × 1200 mm. Overall height depends on the selected roof profile, finial and weathervane.
What is the difference between the two roof styles?
The Classic Pitched roof has clean, traditional planes and a restrained profile. The Heritage Curved roof has a more decorative swept form. Either can be adapted to suit the proportions of the receiving building.
Which roof materials can I choose?
Roof finishes are available in genuine lead, copper or a carefully finished fibreglass option. Lead and copper provide the most authentic architectural finish; fibreglass offers lower weight and a different cost profile.
Can the side panels be louvred?
Yes. Plain and louvred side panels are available. Louvres can provide traditional appearance and ventilation, while plain panels create a cleaner architectural treatment.
Can I choose the turret colour?
Yes. Turrets can be finished in virtually any appropriate colour using our professional two-pack epoxy coating system. Colour matching is available as part of the final specification.
Need Something Outside the Standard Range?
We can adapt proportions, work from plans or develop a completely individual timber clock tower.
