Try using Google. You will get the answer quicker. But realistically there are only a few suppliers of gas, BOC, Air Products, Air Liquide, Adams and Hobbyweld. Maybe one more? With the first three you will need to open an account and pay a monthly rental, some of the others just charge a fairly large deposit on the cylinder, and a charge for each refill. Most of these suppliers have local agents in various parts of the country. It is just a case of finding them and comparing prices.

 

You will presumably be wanting argon with 5% CO2 mixture.

Alternatively try your local fire extinguisher company, mine even gave me the bottle that they refill for me every so often, it's much cheaper too, think I payed £8 last time...

I get c02 from a pub gas supplier. They gave me the bottle and I just needed a new regulator.
