KG Smith CO2 Gas Bottles In Berkshire Basingstoke Or Oxford

[puddle]

Its my first post so most importantly its a big hello to everyone

I've been looking through this great forum for a while now and taking in all the useful information it has to offer but its got to the stage that I have to stop looking at start welding, hopefully I will learn enough so that in time I might be able to share the information I learn with others who are just starting out.

I was talking to someone today who said that if I had a KG Smith Co2 bottle he could get it refilled for me.
Does anyone know where I can get a KG Smith Co2 bottle from in the Berkshire or even Oxford or Basingstoke area.

Thanks

Where are you based? the andover patio centre, Andover down, do co2 bottles at around £21 no rent just walk away with bottle and return it for a full one when empty.

Hi
Andover is about a 2 hour round trip for me so I would rather find something a bit closer to Reading if possible.
Out of desperation yesterday I actually did ring Andover Patio Centre and the bloke told me that they sell pub gas bottles which are 6.35kg for £14.95 +vat and refill them for the same price, he said the only bottles he will refill/exchange I can't remember which other than the one listed above is a "Messer" Air Liquid Purple top bottle and they are rental bottles only.

If I could get the KG Smith bottle that I was told about the other day I can get that refilled for £10 so nearly nearly 40% bigger and 50% Cheaper.

Thanks for the help it is most gratefully received
