I used dam health as they are local, they were good for me and results emailed within a couple hours.
But look at their reviews and there are some bad ones, prob the same as most others.
I would suggest a local one you can go to for the travelling out test, as even 72 hours (pcr) is not much time when the test has to be sent back and result waited for.
Antigen is fine for coming home, mine in France was 26 euro and result in about an hour emailed to me. Ps antigen is fine for getting into France too

Cheers guys, Id like to use a local site but the closest one is 34 miles away so will definitely be an online booked test posted and then post back for result, I came across the one in the link you provided the other day for the Antigen test but I thought it was supposed to be a PCR test to travel out reading again conflicting info on this information some say antigen is fine other sites say PCR swab tests.

If you're travelling to france their requirement is antigen or pcr, it's on their and ours government websites.
Pcr - test within 72 hours of travel
Antigen - test with 48 hours
For postal tests, even 72 hours is cutting it fine

In fact, you no longer need a pre travel test to enter france if you are double jabbed
https://uk.ambafrance.org/COVID-19-rules-for-travel-to-France-and-the-UK
If you have been fully vaccinated you will therefore no longer have to present a test in order to enter French territory. The period of time you must wait following the final dose has been reduced to seven days (double dose, or previous infection + one dose) and 28 days (single dose)
(your travel carrier like eurotunnel or ferry etc may have other rules for travel)
If not double jabbed then it could be hard work if I'm reading this correctly and it's 24 hours for the test
1/ From Sunday 18 July (00.00 a.m.), if you have not been vaccinated you must present a negative PCR or antigen test less than 24 hours old to travel to French territory from the UK.
Eurotunnel rules are in line and up to date with French info

If you are double vacced, you dont need a test before you go out but you do need proof of vaccinations.
At the moment, coming back you need a negative test plus you need book the 2 and 8 day PCR tests and enter the details into your Passenger locator form.
I think!
It may change!

After Sunday, if you're double jabbed you will not need the day 8 test when coming back from France.
No test going to France
Antigen or pcr test before coming home
Day 2 pcr test booked before coming home to put reference on locator form
No isolation
No day 8 test

For the return journey, do you have to have to have an official test done in France, or can you take lateral flow tests with you and use those?

Yes you can take a lateral flow test with you for the pre return test but it will need to be from a private company not NHS and it will need to produce a suitably signed certificate to show a negative result.
There are companies that do this.
