Word to the wise !

If you looking to 'obtain' BOC bottles they are getting the bottle job pretty sown up now every new bottle gets scanned and is then put down to you on your account to the point when you return bottles etc a quick scan and its all done apart from your signature ! The days of getting a mates bottle filled are numbered !!

Simple, just don't use BOC and don't use Air Products, both rip you off!

Plenty of other suppliers that are far cheaper.

BOC have quoted £62.50 per bottle rental per annum so thats £125 a year up the swanny for starters. Does anybody have any alternative suggestions on suppliers? Was thinking of Oxy propane so only one bottle rental.

Just found local supplier who stock SGS gas, just pay a bottle deposit which is refundable forever when you want to return bottle and you only ever pay for gas refills and no rental. Regulators go straight on as well :-)

We used BOC for years then changed to Air Products which worked out cheaper at the time. We then looked at Energas and it did work out cheaper than the other two. So it's Energas we are now with.
