Office clock mounted level and secure where you can easily see it. Quick professional installation so you stop checking your phone for the time.
Because You Need to See the Actual Time
Working from home and constantly checking your phone to see what time it is? A proper wall clock mounted where you can see it changes that. One glance, you know the time, back to work. Simple but genuinely useful.
💡 Pro tip: Mount it where you naturally look, not just where there's wall space. Beside or opposite your desk works best - not behind you where you have to swivel around.

Why Choose Us for Office clock mounting in Exeter?
Mounted perfectly level
Secure wall fixing

Battery installed if needed
What to Expect
Step 1: Position Check
We work out where the clock should go for best visibility from your desk, checking for glare and accessibility.
Step 2: Mark Level
I mark the fixing point using a spirit level. Clocks show being wonky more obviously than most things.
Step 3: Mount & Setup
Appropriate wall fixing goes in, clock goes up. Install battery and set time if you'd like, or leave that to you.
🔧 DIY Tips
Hanging your own clock? Here's how:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Spirit level (essential for clocks)
- Drill and appropriate bit
- Wall anchor/plug for your wall type
- Pencil
- The clock's mounting hardware
📏 Positioning
- Height: Usually 160-170cm to center for viewing while seated
- Location: Where you can see it with a glance, not a head turn
- Avoid glare: Not where window light reflects off the glass face
- Clear view: Not blocked by monitor or other equipment
🔩 Mounting process
- Hold clock where you want it and check the view from your desk
- Mark the fixing point (top of clock, not where hook will be)
- Use a spirit level when marking - clocks show wonky more than pictures
- Drill and insert appropriate wall anchor
- Hang clock and verify it's level before letting go
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Eyeballing level instead of using a spirit level (never works)
- Using picture hooks for heavy clocks (weight pulls them out)
- Mounting behind you instead of in easy line of sight
- Not accounting for the pendulum when measuring clearance
💡 Pro trick: For clocks with hands (not digital), set them to 10:10 before mounting - they look more balanced and inviting. Sounds daft but it's what shops do for a reason.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Full office setup? Clock mounting fits nicely into a complete office setup alongside other wall items - do them all together for consistent height and spacing.
Silent clocks: If the ticking drives you mad, look for "silent sweep" or "continuous movement" clocks. The second hand glides rather than ticks. Worth the extra few quid for peace and quiet.
Battery life: Standard AA battery usually lasts 12-18 months in a wall clock. Keep a spare in your desk drawer so you're not hunting for one when it dies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Isn't hanging a clock just putting a nail in the wall?
Sort of, but getting it level and secure takes more thought than you'd think. Plus choosing the right wall fixing for the clock weight and wall type matters - you don't want it falling off. I make sure it's level, secure, and positioned where you'll actually see it.
Where should I mount a clock in a home office?
Somewhere you can glance at it without turning around - usually on the wall opposite or beside your desk, at eye level when seated. Not behind you where you have to twist to see it. And definitely not where the glare from your window hits it.
Can you mount clocks on any wall type?
Yes - plasterboard, solid brick, even old lath-and-plaster walls. Each needs different fixings, which I bring with me. The approach changes but the result is the same - clock mounted securely and level.
Do you put the battery in and set the time?
If you want me to, yes. I can get it running and set to the right time. Or just mount it and leave you to set it yourself - either way is fine.
My clock is quite heavy - will it be secure?
Yes - heavier clocks just need better wall fixings. I'll use anchors rated for the weight. Much more secure than a picture hook, which is what most people try and then wonder why it fell off.
