Details & payment

I agree to the booking terms below *
I understand that a non-refundable booking fee of £125 is payable now to secure this appointment, that it is deducted from the total fee rather than charged on top, and that the balance is payable no later than 48 hours before the examination. I understand that booking waives the 14-day cooling-off period because assessment work begins immediately. I confirm the details above are correct.

I understand that participation in a polygraph examination must be entirely voluntary and that the examinee’s informed consent is required. No individual can be compelled to undergo a polygraph examination. *

Booking in Preston

The same accredited standard, in Preston itself.

Preston has one controlled examination room of its own, in Ashton-on-Ribble. 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 Preston.

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 Preston as anywhere else.

Lie detector test for theft Something has gone missing and the people who could have taken it are people you know. A polygraph examination gives you an answer that is not based on who seems most likely. See details From £495

Lie detector test for fraud Fraud is hard to act on because intent is hard to prove. An examination will not prove intent either — but it will tell you whether the person in front of you is answering honestly, which is usually where an investigation stalls. See details From £495

Sexual contact test The specific-issue test used when the question is whether a partner has been physically unfaithful, and how far it went. See details From £495

Lie detector test for integrity When somebody has questioned your honesty and there is no document, receipt or witness that settles it. See details From £495

Polygraph services for solicitors Used before a case is taken on, and during negotiation — far more often as an investigative tool than as anything intended for a courtroom. See details From £495

Post-conviction sex offender testing Polygraph examination as part of the supervision and risk management of convicted sex offenders, conducted by APA-accredited examiners. See details On quote

Pre-employment screening for the financial sector Screening for roles where a single dishonest hire carries a cost out of all proportion to the salary. See details From £495

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

Crucial evidence in a legal battle. We became involved in a heated court struggle in which the truth was our only defense. Lie Detector Test UK provided critical evidence through polygraph testing, which was important in the case. The results were conclusive and played an important role in the court's judgment. Their service was indispensable.

Really happy with my results so happy that I trusted these guys was really nervous at first but so thankful I’ve done it now

Mark was brilliant with me .I was so nervous he made me feel relaxed calm .would highly recommend this company thanks so much . beverley Jenkins .

Mark was amazing really felt comfortable talking about the issue, had the answer I need to move on so well worth money, after year and year heart ache and pain I can hold my head up high beacuse of this company

I highly recommend the Lie Detector Test. Knowing the truth will make you feel! Rene is personable, experienced, and most importantly professional. What she helped do for our marriage was worth every penny.

Lie Detector Test UK provided just what we required: a reliable and efficient solution to a challenging dispute. The examiner was informed and ensured that the entire procedure went smoothly and without stress. Highly recommended!

Service we received was great. The communication between myself and the company was easy and efficient. My only con would be the price. But nonetheless I can’t fault the service we received.

Great service, really friendly. Talk you through it all. 100% would recommend

I took a lie detector to prove I was abused by own uncle when I was a child. The whole thing from start to finish was very professional. The examiner was very clear and everything was easy to understand. I felt such a relief telling my story to someone it definitely took a weight off my chest. I received my results with in 48 hours. No deception indicated. The examinee was honest in answering the above questions. Reading that out made me feel relieved that I finally got it out there and was able to prove to hes family what happened. Thank you highly recommend.

I needed to verify some claims for a legal case, so I hired a lie detector service. Their professional workers provided accurate results quickly and I am really grateful for their service.

My partner and I had been going through some issues that resulted in the need to take a lie detector test. For the sake of my privacy I won't go into too much detail but the test showed both of us were telling the truth all along. We were able to move past our problem and our relationship is stronger because of it. I was very pleased with the services of Lie Detector Test Limited. They treated us with dignity. Taking a lie detector test is never easy but they made it as smooth and painless as possible. They did a wonderful job and I'd happily recommend them to friends and family the next time something comes up that necessitates a lie detector test.

Very professional and good experience. Although the answers were not to my favour and devastating, but bitter truth is better than a sweet lies. I will recommend the services. Report provided was in full details and case was handled with care and confidentiality. Thank you!

All reviews

Asked in Preston

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.

Do you cover the rest of Lancashire?

Yes — Blackpool has a room of its own twelve miles west and Blackburn one seventeen miles east, and Lancaster, Chorley and the Ribble Valley are covered from here at the same price.

Is there parking?

Yes, on site at The Pavilions.

Can you come to my home in Preston?

No. Your examination in Preston is held at Albert Edward House, Albert Edward House, The Pavilions, Ashton-on-Ribble, 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 Preston?

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

Thirteen more offices within 30 miles.

Real road distance and journey time from Preston 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.
