1. RT-PCR Tests (We offer RT-PCR tests)
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests are the gold standard in Covid-19 testing. It is a laboratory method that detects the specific viral genetic material called RNA. PCR tests are very accurate, however, they take time to process.

VENUE BASED PCR SAMPLE COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTING YOUR SAMPLE TO THE LABORATORY
For our Fit-To-Fly, Test-To-Release and Non-Travel PCR testing, we take samples from 10 venues across the Midlands and only ever use our own staff members to deliver your sample to the laboratory.
Our staff travel to every collection venue seven days a week, and they hand-deliver every sample to the laboratory.
In our experience, this is by far the safest way to ensure that the results are returned on time.
When Things Don't Go To Plan
Firstly, the combination of our extensive experience, continual improvement, and client-centered processes, we have developed working strategies that work exceptionally well.
We have conducted tens of thousands of tests since we began Covid-19 testing in March 2021. Our services have evolved over the past nine months, however, our commitment to deliver your test results on time has formed the bedrock of our business.
However, things don't always work. Rest assured that we will do all that we can to satisfactorily resolve any issues that you may have.
Our admin team is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, and our telephone line is always answered by a human!
Delivering Your Lateral Flow Antigen Test Kit to You
We will send your Lateral Flow Antigen test kit to you by the Royal Mail 24 Tracked service.
All of our Lateral Flow Antigen Test home kits are delivered to you to self-swab. The clinical team verify the results and issue certificates from 07.00 until 20.00 every day.
We can arrange for your LFT test to be observed by a trained member of staff via video link if required.
Providing your Certificate On Time
We take our responsibility very seriously. Everybody within the Guildhall team understands the importance of delivering your result on time.
The laboratory is committed to delivering the same-day test results by midnight.
The next-day results are delivered within 24 hours of your sample collection time.
We have a wealth of experience in testing and we do everything we can to ensure that your test result will be delivered on time. However, no system is infallible, but rest assured that we will do everything we can possibly do to ensure that your results arrive on time.
