Cardiff Conservation Services
Close co-operation with Cadw has meant that material from Guardianship and Rescue excavations in Wales has been conserved in the Cardiff laboratories for over 20 years. During the 1990's, with the increase in developer-funded work, Cardiff Conservation Services was formed to offer a commercial conservation service. The service is managed by Phil Parkes (contact details below), an Accredited Member of Icon the Institute of Conservation. We provide conservation of a wide range of materials from archaeological small finds through to 20th century social history collections.
The services offered include conservation input to archaeological briefs, on-site lifting and conservation, object treatments, condition surveys, environmental monitoring and specialist analysis using a range of analytical equipment.
We have worked for a wide range of clients including; national organisations such as Cadw, Historic Scotland and English Heritage; local authorities; archaeological units; museums; churches, architects practices and private individuals.
