Booking online was simple, the examiner was patient, and everything was explained in plain English. Far less intimidating than I expected a lie detector test to be.

What to Know Before You Book in Norfolk

Polygraph and Lie Detector Testing in Norwich
People in Norwich book a lie detector test for one reason: a question that talking has not settled. A breakdown of trust in a relationship, a workplace accusation, a family dispute over money - a professionally documented test result ends the argument that conversation could not.
Wherever in Norwich you are, the appointment comes to you. We test in homes and in private venues - hotel meeting rooms, business centre suites - and the same professional protocol applies in every location.
What Happens During a Polygraph Test in Norwich
If you are researching a polygraph lie detector test in Norwich, it helps to know exactly what the appointment involves. A professional examination follows the same broad structure wherever you go, and ours is built around three clear stages.
The pre-test consultation
The examiner discusses the issue under investigation and agrees every question with you in advance. There are no surprise questions in a professional test. This stage matters more than any other, because a well-defined single issue with precisely worded questions is what separates a reliable examination from a vague one.
The test itself
The subject is fitted with sensors and the agreed questions are presented in a controlled sequence while their responses are recorded. The session is calm and structured - no interrogation tactics, no pressure. Most appointments take between one and three hours from arrival to debrief depending on the complexity of the case.
Analysis and the written result
After the session the recorded data is analysed and the result is reported, followed by a written results certificate setting out the method, the questions examined and the conclusion in plain English. You are not left interpreting jargon: the report tells you what was asked and what the data showed.
How Much Does a Polygraph Test Cost in Norwich?
Private polygraph tests in the UK typically cost between £400 and £700 for a single-issue examination, and because the industry is unregulated there is no standard pricing. Some providers add substantial extras for home visits, evening appointments or urgent bookings, so the advertised price is not always the price you pay.
With us, Norwich clients pay from £499 all-in: the visit, the examination, and the written certificate. Urgent appointments are available, and the price we quote before booking is the price you pay on the day.
Six Questions to Ask Any Polygraph Provider in Norwich
Before you pay anyone in Norwich for a test, put these questions to them. A good provider will answer every one in writing without hesitation.
- Is the test limited to one clearly defined issue? Multi-issue examinations are the main cause of unreliable results.
- Are all the questions agreed with you in advance? There should be no surprise questions on the day.
- What exactly does the price include? Travel, the venue, urgent slots and the written report should all be stated before you pay.
- What method is used, and what does it measure? You should know whether it is a traditional polygraph or another technique before you book.
- What will the written result say? Ask how the report sets out the method, the questions and the conclusion.
- Who sees the result, and how is your information kept? Results should go only to the person who commissioned the test.
From Booking to Written Result in Norwich

Before any testing starts, the examiner talks the matter through with you and every question is agreed. Nothing is asked that you have not seen.

4. The written result
A results certificate setting out the method, the questions examined and the conclusion, in plain English.
What Can a Polygraph Test Help With?
Lie detector testing is used every day across Norwich and the rest of the UK to settle questions that conversation alone cannot. These are the situations we are asked about most:
- Cheating partner concerns - the single most common reason people book a test
- Family disputes - missing money, broken trust, and accusations between relatives
- Workplace accusations - theft, misconduct claims and clearing an employee's name
- Corporate investigations - internal theft, data leaks and pre-employment screening
- Insurance fraud - verifying or challenging suspect claims
- Private matters - any personal question where you need a documented answer
Polygraph or EEG-Based Lie Detector Test?
People searching for a polygraph test in Norwich are often surprised to learn there is more than one way to run a lie detector test. Here is how a traditional polygraph compares with the EEG-based method we use, so you know exactly what you are booking.
| Traditional polygraph | EEG-based test (ours) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it measures | Breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and sweat response | The brain's recognition response (the P300 signal) to specific details |
| Equipment | Chest straps, a blood pressure cuff and finger sensors | A lightweight EEG headset |
| Effect of nerves | Anxiety raises the same signals the test reads | Measures recognition, not general stress |
| Typical session | Often two to three hours | Typically 60 to 90 minutes |
| Questions agreed in advance | Depends on the provider | Always |
| Written result | Depends on the provider | Always, with every test |
The full side-by-side explanation is on our Polygraph vs P300 page.
Raising a Test and Preparing for the Day
How you raise a test shapes how it goes. Name the one issue, explain that every question is agreed in advance, and agree up front who sees the written result and when.
For employers in Norwich: make the invitation in writing, make clear the test is voluntary, and take HR or legal advice before treating a refusal as relevant to any decision.
On the day, the person being tested should
- Get a normal night's sleep beforehand
- Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs
- Take any prescribed medication as normal and tell the examiner about it
- Bring photo ID
- Allow the full appointment time without rushing off to something else

Polygraph Accuracy and UK Law
Two questions come up before almost every Norwich booking: how accurate is the test, and can the result be used in court? Both deserve straight answers.
Accuracy claims in this industry vary wildly, so judge providers by their discipline instead: single-issue examinations, questions agreed in advance, a written report that states its own limits. That is our standard for every Norwich test.
In England, private polygraph results are not admissible as evidence in criminal trials. The state does use polygraph testing in one narrow area: as a licence condition for certain offenders released from prison, run by the probation service under the Offender Management Act 2007 and later extended to some domestic abuse and terrorism offenders. That statutory testing is entirely separate from private testing, which remains unregulated. Civil and family courts decide case by case what weight, if any, to give a private report.
What private test reports are used for, every day, is informing personal decisions, resolving family and relationship disputes, and supporting internal workplace and business investigations - situations where a documented professional finding carries real practical weight even though it is not a court exhibit.

What Our Clients Say
Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 199 reviews across the UK
I compared every lie detector service I could find. These were the fastest to respond, the clearest about the process, and the appointment happened within days.
I was anxious about being tested at all. The examiner took time to put me at ease and the whole session was respectful from start to finish.
Used for a workplace accusation. The process was documented thoroughly and both sides accepted the outcome. Would have liked a slightly faster report turnaround.
Being tested at home rather than travelling somewhere unfamiliar took most of the stress out of it. Everything was set up quickly and packed away discreetly.
A sensitive personal matter was handled with complete discretion. No judgement, no drama, just a clear process and a clear result.
I assumed our location would mean a long wait or a long journey. They came within days and arranged a private venue ten minutes from the house.

The Nine Thousand Pound Question
The admissibility rules on this page, applied: voluntary written invitations, HR advice first, and a test used as one strand of a documented investigation - never the verdict. How one employer cleared three staff and found the answer lawfully.
Read the case studyAccused of Cheating and Telling the Truth
Most private tests are never meant for a courtroom - they are meant to settle a question between two people. How an accused partner volunteered, agreed the questions in advance, and ended a two-month argument in ninety minutes.
Read the case studyTwo Siblings, One Accusation
When the police cannot attribute shared access and solicitors only harden positions, a symmetrical pair of tests - identical scope, results shared simultaneously - resolved what two years of letters could not.
