Have you tried your local NHS hospitals? Phone up and ask for the phlebotomy department, ask if they will take blood for private testing? If yes, ask how much. The last time I saw a price at my local NHS hospital it was quoted as £18, but I know attitudes to doing private blood draws by the NHS differ from hospital to hospital.
Take all the instructions and tubes etc with you, and also take all the packaging you need. Get the blood drawn, make up the package, and take it straight to the Post Office. Ask for "guaranteed next day delivery by 1pm".
Do the blood draw and posting on Mon, Tue, Wed, or Thu. Don't do it on Fri, Sat or Sun. The blood must be received by the lab on a day when there will be people in the lab to receive it and test it while it is as fresh as possible.
