Private coronavirus test for travel

Help! My DD is moving abroad for work. To enter the country without quarantine you need to provide evidence of two negative coronavirus tests within a set time. Those tests cannot be done in the UK. Only tests done in the Schengen zone of the EU are accepted. Are there companies in the UK that use a Europe based lab that can do this? We’ve contacted a couple of UK private companies with no joy. Only idea so far is to go to Belgium twice and have the tests done there - there’s a test centre at the airport. Is there an easier solution? Surely there must be.

As she's non Schengen, I think it might be better to do the quarantine (way less hassle than two trips to Belgium, plus no disruption to plans if a test is positive). Can that be managed?

I’m not sure. She has to register her official address with the police in person when she gets there. She has a set appointment two days after she arrives.
