Troddenmasses Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 As ever, I have nothing to do with this company, other that i'm a satisfied customer. I went to the company below to have my 'pub co2' bottle refilled with argoshield (for £10) and found that they have started renting out proper bottles. When I compare them to BOC etc, I realised just how cheap they are. The prices are for either argoshield or pure argon, and are for 10 litre bottles. Deposit on bottle - £25.75, 3 year rental £38.99, each gas refil £22.50, and they are filled to 137 bar. The 5 litre bottle - the one that I went for, as it holds the same amount of gas as the pub type bottle (as the fill pressure is higher) costs £15.75 for the deposit, £29.50 for the 3 year rental and £12.50 for each refil. They are on the road from Stroud to Nailsworth : Maynards Ltd Merretts Mill Woodchester Stroud Gloucestershire GL5 5EX 01453 833185 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Oh.... Mark was the one that sorted my 200 Tdi head problem out by skimming it properly, did'nt know he did gas, so I'm off there today to get a bottle Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Bum just refilled my Y bottle from BOC at cost of £50 with £80 annual rental. Also have a good Pub CO2 bottle kicking around! Hmm might have to get a backup. Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige90 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Damn that's cheap. For Argon I've been quoted locally £36 for the bottle, 23p a day rental (£84/year) and £20 a refill ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Just to bump this back tot he top. Was in this area yesterday so popped by and picked up a 10 litre bottle of argosheild. Prices are up a little since 2007 but still a very good deal and the place is a real gem. Proper motor engineers with all the stuff to skim, grind, bore and balance anything engine wise. Even has a rolling road there. And run by proper enthusiasts. Also large selection of used "proper" workshop tools like lathes, milling machines etc at sensible prices. For the gas I paid £106 which includes Vat and is broken down as follows £25 refundable deposit £22.50 for the gas (plus vat) £45 for 3 years bottle rental (plus vat) So now will only need pay for refills for the next 3 years. Great if like me you are only an occasional welder. The place is located HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 That's almost close enough to me to be viable. Might give them a go when I'm next in Bristol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Spot Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I live in Nailsworth (2 mins away) and would rather travel 40 min to South Cerney Engineering for a proper job, check the fill pressures of the cheap refills as alot of them are decants from larger bottles so you don,t get as much gas.
