Why Cansford’s 3-day turnaround time is the standard for our drug and alcohol testing

When it comes to drug and alcohol testing, timing is crucial, especially for legal professionals working on family law cases. At Cansford, we’re proud to offer a fast, efficient service that ensures you meet court deadlines without any hidden costs.

Fast, simple, and reliable testing

Our three-working-day turnaround is designed to take the stress out of waiting for results. From the moment your samples arrive at our lab, we guarantee results within three working days. For example, if you instruct us on a Monday, your results will be ready by Friday. And the best part? This rapid turnaround is included in our standard service, at no extra cost.

Unlike some providers who send samples abroad, all of our testing is carried out in our laboratory in Wales. This not only ensures faster processing times but also gives us full control over the quality and accuracy of our work.

As our Managing Director, Kim Bagley, puts it:

"We were recently asked by a solicitor how much we charged for our ‘expedited’ three-working-day turnaround time prices. Needless to say we were quite astonished, as this is our standard turnaround time for back-to-lab samples. It led us to think while family law professionals may be paying for a fast service elsewhere, we provide that quick turnaround time as standard and at no extra cost."

How the process works

Whether your client needs a drug test or alcohol test urgently or in the future, we’re here to help. Our straightforward process means you can get in touch by phone, email, or live chat – where you’ll always speak to a real person, not a chatbot or voicemail. We respond to messages within two hours, ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish.

Trusted by professionals, reviewed by clients

At Cansford, we take pride in the quality of our service, not just the speed. Our collectors are trained to work discreetly, ensuring that hair samples, for example, are taken without noticeable chunks. But don’t just take our word for it – 71 of our clients and donors have given us a 4.9-star rating on Google reviews, recognising our professionalism and care (and named themselves instead of anonymising the fact they’ve been tested).

The Cansford difference

Quality is at the heart of everything we do. As a UKAS-accredited lab (ISO 17025), we operate to the highest industry standards and best practices. With nearly 30 years of experience in drug and alcohol testing, Cansford is a name you can trust for reliable, accurate results.
