My Highlands Reg A 31day movement wall clock, of 29years has just stopped?

Bought 29years ago from a well known catalogue store. Wouldn't have been 'an expensive' clock, none the less has kept excellent time, 'all the time', with a full wind up every 28 days or so.
It hasn't had a service or ever been oiled. (no doubt should have had...) However, it has now stopped. If I give the pendulum a push it will 'swing' for 30-40 seconds or so and the clock will 'tick-tock', then sadly stops again.
I have 'trawled the net', but cannot find a clock repairer near BD20, and guessed that my clock probably is in need of a service/oiling.
I don't really want to buy a 'new' clock if avoidable, as I really love 'my' clock. I like to see the pendulum swing and I like to hear a clock 'tick-tock'. Please help! ...

must be one of a pair
ours was a wedding present and has the exact same symptoms but remains pride of place in silence
did you manage to get yours repaired and at what cost

Unable to find clock repair in the Bradford area (BD20 is Bradford I presume?)

Well here's 55 of them to be going on with..
