Booking in Hartlepool

The same accredited standard, in Hartlepool itself.

Hartlepool has one controlled examination room of its own, in Hartlepool Marina. Every one runs to the same standard as the rest of the network — the same accredited examiners, the same confidentiality, and the same seven examinations, whether the reason is a workplace investigation or a private question at home.

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 Hartlepool.

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 Hartlepool 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 Hartlepool alone — it is the same examination and the same examiners wherever it happens.

Discovering the truth on my own was incredibly difficult. Then a friend suggested I reach out Lie Detector Test UK - Leeds. I followed their choice, and now I know that my brother is innocent.

I was having trouble with ex girlfriend making up lies to my current girlfriend & the lie detector was my only option. It was conducted in a private room alone with the inspector. The questions was made very clear & asked professionally, I never felt interrogated.
Dennis · Trustpilot
Excellent service. Fast booking and fast results. Examiner was very nice and explained the whole process very clear, and made us both feel very comfortable. Very happy with the whole experience and would recommend to anyone that may need any reassurance.

From start to finish, my experience has been eye opening, brilliant and at every step I felt respected. Justin made me feel completely at ease within my home environment and helped me prove that I wasn't lying regarding accusations against me. I would highly recommend to anyone! Great service, thank you Justin!

We experienced an amazing service from this company. From the great customer service, accommodating staff to the swiftly received results. I would like to give a special thanks to Christine Greenwood who imparted specialist knowledge and was very patient with every question we had. Another special thanks to Taryn Boshoff, who was very professional, kind and explained everything in great detail. And finally, a special thanks to Emma for the kind follow-up call. You are an amazing team and we wish you all the best and continued success for the future. M

All reviews

Asked in Hartlepool

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.

What does a test in Hartlepool cost?

£495 all-inclusive for one person and £695 for a couple, confirmed on the call before you pay.

Do you cover the rest of Teesside?

Yes — Stockton, Billingham, Redcar, Thornaby and Yarm, at £495 with no travel charge. Middlesbrough and Darlington both have controlled rooms of their own too, if either is easier for you.

Can you come to my home in Hartlepool?

No. Your examination in Hartlepool is held at Maritime House, Harbour Walk, Hartlepool Marina, Hartlepool, which is booked for your appointment and nobody else's. 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 Hartlepool?

No. It is £495 all-inclusive for one person wherever you book in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, including Hartlepool — 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.
