Thought I'd share...
After ridding myself of BOC I had a nosey to see what Argon/C02 rent free options are available on 10L & 20L bottles:
Adams Gas 10L -- £93.08 +VAT for bottle rental (£55) and gas (£38.08). Yet the Invoice charge shows £93.08 + £11 VAT. This confused me as I thought the deposit on the bottle would be NIL VAT with the VAT being on the gas only (£7.62). No matter because the agents are too far away which adds additional carriage costs (£15+VAT). Didn't bother comparing 20L bottles as they now state they will supply to 'Trade addresses only'.
SGS 10L/20L -- Two local motor factors quoted: 10L (deposit/refill) £80/£47.57 and £70/£44.61 : 20L £100/£57.14 and £85/£63.22. Once again VAT is seems to be charged on bottle & gas. Even though these two are within walking distance I couldn't spend any money with the grumpy gits huffing & puffing because I'd disturbed their day
HobbyWeld -- Only a 9L bottle (No 20L Plus available just Ultra) I know they are smaller bottles and have less gas but it suits what I need. London Gasses offer free delivery for a fully inclusive £117. I would have gone with them but the thought of maybe having to drive into North London in the foreseeable future to return the bottle fills me with dread: I paid an extra £3 to a localist mob to deliver instead!
