Walk in, take proof of identity and address, register, pay for your bottle (monthly rate) then use it, pay for it to be refilled.

 

Easy and quite 'costly' unless you're doing a lot of welding.

Many thanks for that, any ideas how much payments are?

I had a bottle for about 18 months, around erm 5-6 years ago.

 

I think, it was about 10 pounds per month. Ish. For a large bottle this is, which I never really justified.

Sounds cheap enough. Thanks again.

its a dam sight more expensive than that now. there are cheaper alternatives. the cheapest being just use co2 or pubgas as its called which you might be able to get from your local boozer if you ask nicely, or from welding companies you can buy small bottles, i use wellington welding in plymouth, £40 refundable deposit on the bottle and £36 to refill less than a 3rd of the price at BOC.

 

hope this helps.

Word of warning: If your mate has found you a BOC bottle and you open an account with them they will still charge you bottle rental! As they own the bottles regardless of where you got it from.
