Beacon Fire in Penrith will exchange FE's and may refill your own depending on model. A 2kg exhange is ~£12.50+VAT at the time of writing.

I never pay for a refill, I just go to our local fire extinguisher supply company who will give me a free exchange every time.
They supply hundreds of businesses like banks, hotels etc. The cylinders have a certain shelf life but, the company always collect & replace them 6 months before they reach that date. I get given the old cylinder before they are decommissioned.
I once went inside their store & workshop, there were hundreds of full C02 extinguishers waiting to be emptied & decommissioned!
i do however show my gratitude by buying seasonal gifts like a couple of tins of quality street at Christmas or a couple of Easter eggs a couple of lobsters etc .... so i guess it is not really free!

I've got FE's in a similar way before.
When they replaced them at work, I got a couple of the old ones free.
It is a shame they only replace them every few years.

It may be worth asking these places if they can 'sell on' out of date FE's - I asked the company who supplies my work about CO2 FE's and they offered to bring me in any OOD FE's that they are not legally allowed to use anymore. I think there's a regulation where they must always be 10yrs old or younger.

Chap called in last week and dropped off 2 full black 2KG CO2 FE's for nothing That's me in CO2 for the next 12-18months

I have rung them in the past about refilling 2-3 2kg co2 tanks but they said they could not help. I feel it is a little expensive to pay 21 as somehow the hard water in my tank goes through about 1kg of co2 in less than a month!

The OP's link is great I wish there was someone closer by who could do a refill. I might have to go down the BOC road if I can't find co2 refills near Hornchurch!

you could try this place.they won't refill FE's,you'd have to use their cylinders.84cm high for 6.35kg.

1x 6.35kg is £25.
2x6.35kg is £20 each.

they also want £50 deposit on each cylinder,which isn't that bad as its a one off payment.
all prices are +vat and they do free delivery to RM.

Good old RM eh nelson haha

Cheers for this. Do they do smaller bottles? I'm using Fire integrity in romford, 2kg is 25quid.

 

[Nelson]

they do 3.15kg.don't know the cost of these though,didn't ask.
if you contact them they're very helpful.let us know the cost if you do .

 

[nayr88]

Ill give them a call monday mate, thanks for finding this one though, I was after a local FE firm, and Fire integrity are but they charge 10quid to deliver and its only a 15minute bus away , but bottle gas isn't the most social thing to walk onto a packed bus with...

Anyway ill let you no.

Funny you know the weight when it's not actually listed on their site.
