Booking near Dorchester

The same accredited standard, close to Dorchester.

There is no controlled room in Dorchester itself — the nearest is in Bournemouth, about 25 miles away. It is exactly the same appointment once you are there: the same accredited examiners, the same confidentiality, and the same seven examinations offered at every office in the network.

Before you book

The result goes to whoever booked the test, and to nobody else without their written say-so. If you are not sure a test is the right next step, the free consultation before you book will tell you plainly — including when the answer is no.

What we test for

Services we provide in Dorchester.

The same examinations, run to the same standard, at every office in the UK — whichever of these brought you here, it works exactly the same way in Dorchester as anywhere else.

Client reviews

What people say afterwards.

Independent Trustpilot and Google reviews. A review never records which office the examination was at, so these are clients from across the UK rather than from Dorchester alone — it is the same examination and the same examiners wherever it happens.

Catching the victim with Lie Detector Test UK is quite simple and interesting. Completely satisfied.
George Harmon · Trustpilot
Our case was rather unique, but Mark ensured we felt calm and at ease during the entire process. He explained everything in detail and offered a top-notch service with great professionalism. This test allowed us to find the resolution we had been seeking. Thank you, Mark, for all your efforts—we truly appreciate everything you did. Keep up the fantastic work!
Alisha Mellor · Trustpilot
Fast, efficient, all clear and well explained from the booking service through to the examiner. The examiner clearly explains everything and is comforting. The results were returned very quickly. Highly recommend if anyone needs their honesty proving

Carl · Trustpilot
After finding messages from girlfriend's Ex, I decided to conduct a lie detection test so I hired a Lie Detection Test UK - Manchester No wonder they did a phenomenal job and I found my girlfriend guilty of cheating with me via his ex-boyfriend! Highly Recommended.

Initially, I was anxious about the Lie Detector Test UK, but the thoroughness and professionalism of the examiner made it incredible. The best part is their quick and accurate result proved my innocence in the case. Woho, I am so happy now. 👍
Jaxson Hussain · Trustpilot
I just wanted to say that I was so pleased I used your services as I was quite literally at my wits end to prove the truth. I was very scared and very worried but thankfully your brill examiner put my mind at ease and her kindness was outstanding!

All reviews

Asked in Dorchester

The questions that come up here.

If yours is not below, the free helpline will answer it — including when the answer is that a test is not the right thing for your situation.

Is this Dorchester in Dorset?

Yes — the county town. For Dorchester-on-Thames in Oxfordshire the nearest rooms are Oxford and Reading; say which you mean on the call.

Do you cover Weymouth, Bridport and Portland?

Yes, at £495 with no travel charge.

Can you come to my home in Dorchester?

No. There is no examination room in Dorchester itself, so the nearest is Bournemouth, 25 miles away — which is the journey most people here make, and it is a good deal shorter than it sounds. A polygraph measures small physiological changes over a couple of hours, and it needs a quiet, private room with no interruptions to do it — a doorbell, a neighbour through the wall or a family member in the next room is not a neutral setting, and it is not one we can guarantee in somebody's house. Our examinations take place in a dedicated, private setting designed for polygraph testing, which is what gives the controlled conditions and the confidentiality the examination depends on. If getting to an office is genuinely difficult, call the helpline on 0800 861 1058 before you book and we will talk through what is possible.

Does it cost more to test in Dorchester?

No. It is £495 all-inclusive for one person wherever you book in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, including Dorchester — the price does not change with distance. Scotland is the one exception, priced separately.

Why is the booking fee non-refundable?

Because the work starts before you arrive. An examiner reviews your case, agrees the questions with you in advance and prepares the examination — and the slot is held for you and nobody else. That is also why booking waives the 14-day cooling-off period, which is set out in the terms and conditions. If you are unsure whether a test is the right step, call before you book rather than after.

How many questions can be asked?

Up to 4 specific-issue questions, alongside the profiling questions the format requires. Each is repeated at least three times during the test, because consistency across repetitions is what makes the result readable.

Does it hurt?

No. The blood pressure cuff stays inflated during the test and can feel tight — about like having your blood pressure taken at a surgery. Nothing else is felt at all.

What if someone tries to beat the test?

Countermeasures were a real problem with older equipment. Modern instrumentation records the attempts themselves — deliberate movement, controlled breathing, pressure applied out of sight — and a trained examiner sees them in the data. An attempt to distort the test is itself a finding.

When do I get the results?

A full written report reaches you by email within 24 hours of the examination, or within 48 hours by tracked post if you prefer that. Every report is checked and verified by a second examiner, so what you receive is a qualified opinion rather than one person's reading.

What happens if I don't book an examination date within 30 days?

Your examination date needs to be agreed within 30 days of the original booking date. If it is not, we may close the booking and the £125 booking fee stays non-refundable — clause 3.15 of the terms and conditions has the exact wording. If your circumstances change, call the helpline before the 30 days runs out rather than after.

Can I change my appointment date?

Yes, with at least 48 hours' notice, and the new date has to fall within 30 days of the original booking date — see clause 3.9 of the terms and conditions. Call the helpline to make the change; it is time-sensitive, so a call gets it done faster than email.

What happens if I miss the pre-examination questionnaire deadline?

You have 24 hours from booking to return it, by text or SMS link. Miss that window and we reserve the right to cancel the appointment — clause 3.5 of the terms and conditions sets it out. If you need more time, call the helpline before the 24 hours is up rather than after.

What if the result isn't what I expected?

It stands either way — No Deception Indicated, Deception Indicated or Inconclusive — and no refund is due once the test has been carried out and the report provided, regardless of the outcome. Clause 3.12 of the terms and conditions sets it out. If you are unsure whether a test is the right step, the free consultation before you book is the place to ask.

Nearby

One more office within 30 miles.

Real road distance and journey time from Dorchester city centre for the nearest few — straight-line distance for the rest. If one of these is easier for you, we test there too — the price is the same £495 wherever you go.
