With a surprising number of different sizes and types of gas bottle available to buy now, we are often approached by new (and sometimes existing) customers about what is the best gas bottle for their needs.
There are of course a number of options available when you are looking to purchase bottled gas – for example if you have the space and don’t mind having a large bottle in your garden, a 47kg or 19kg propane bottle is obviously going to last a lot longer than the more traditional 6kg propane bottles.
As you may know, we offer free delivery on all our gas bottles across Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire*, whether you are making a single or bulk purchase, and we’ll take away your empty gas cylinders too.
