Before Your Express Covid-19 PCR Test
Before your test: Don’t use any nasal sprays or put anything in your nose for 24 hours before your appointment. For 1 hour before, avoid any salty or acidic foods, alcohol, coffee, smoking, inhalants or mouthwash. Please bring a form of identification with you. Remember to wear a mask to your appointment and ensure that you have been symptom-free for the last 14 days. Please do not arrive early for your appointment, and note that we won’t allow anyone else in with you.
When can I not get a London express COVID-19 PCR test?
Don’t visit either of our London COVID-19 PCR testing clinics if, within the last 10 days: You’ve had a positive COVID test. You’ve had COVID-19 symptoms. You’ve had contact with someone who has COVID or COVID symptoms. You’ve come from a red-list country.
How long do the results take to arrive?
Our 60-minute PCR express tests will guarantee you results in 60 minutes or less. Because we test each sample in store with our express 60-minute PCR machines, we can guarantee punctual results.
What is the difference between a Private PCR COVID-19 test and a Lateral Flow Test?
A private Covid-19 PCR test provides the certificate of testing that airlines and many overseas countries require to travel and enter those countries. It is considered the gold standard of Covid-19 testing as it can reliably detect if you are currently infected with the virus. A lateral flow test is not as reliable as the PCR test, and it’s not accepted by many airlines as proof that you’re Fit to Fly. However, you should always check with the country you are travelling to for confirmation before booking with us, as many countries are now accepting lateral flow tests.
Please read our booking terms and conditions before making an appointment.
Partial refund (50%) if you cancel within 24 hours prior to the day of the test.
Full refund minus £10 admin fee will be issued if you cancel more than 24 hours prior to the day of the test.
Please allow 5-10 business days for transfer.
