EnglishWhat is Formedecon LTD and what services does it provide?
Updated
Formedecon LTD is a UK-based forensic and investigative services provider that works for the legal profession. According to its website, it supplies forensic scientists, technical experts and expert witnesses who handle prosecution, defence, civil and family matters both in the UK and worldwide. It accepts instructions from solicitors (whether Legal Aid Agency funded or privately funded), barristers using Direct Access, and private companies and businesses.
Who Formedecon works for
The site states the team includes former Forensic Science Service (FSS) experts, former senior police and investigative officers, and internationally recognised academics and lecturers. Instructions are welcomed from:
- Solicitors, on LAA-funded or privately funded cases
- Barristers, through Direct Access
- Private companies and businesses
The stated output is professional and impartial reporting, written to be comprehensive, clear and concise for use in court and tribunals, with experts who regularly attend court and hearings to give live evidence.

The site's description names a broad set of forensic and technical disciplines:
| Category | Listed specialisms |

Alcohol BAC calculations and drink drive reports
One service is given more detail than the rest. The site highlights a link at the top of the page to a standard alcohol questionnaire, which is required if you want an alcohol BAC calculation or a drink drive expert report carried out by its drink drive experts. In practice, that means the starting point for this type of instruction is completing the questionnaire so the experts have the case information needed to produce the calculation or report.
How to make contact
The site lists a phone number for enquiries: 01388 811003. The homepage also includes a "Back to Home page" link alongside the main service content.
What to check before instructing
The website does not publish pricing, turnaround times or a detailed list of which experts cover which regions, so those points need to be confirmed directly. If your matter involves alcohol BAC or drink driving, the questionnaire is the practical first step; for other disciplines, contact the team with the case type and jurisdiction to confirm whether they can take the instruction.
