going to have a look at it myself cost of getting someone to just look at, before any repairs are done is over£300 to much for me.

Have you tried switching it off and back on again?

How do you switch on and off an old grandfather clock?

Having watched the clock expert Steve on the Repair Shop a possible cause could be a faulty cog which will cause the chain not to function properly or a worn bush.
