Usually 24 - 48 hours. Have you asked for doctor's comments, if so that will take longer than without comments.

However, it's advised not to do the test/post on a Friday due to there may be possible delays over the weekend. It's recommended to post Monday to Wednesday only, possibly posting Thursday if using Royal Mail's Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm Next Day. I think there is someone at the lab on a Saturday so I would make sure you use Special Delivery when you go to the Post Office.
