There are three practical ways to get bottled gas near you: buy from a local stockist, order online for delivery, or refill a rent-free cylinder you already own. This guide covers each route, what you can get locally, and how to find your nearest Adams Gas supply point.
Adams Gas fills its cylinders in the UK and supplies them through a network of more than 90 independent stockists, plus direct delivery across the country. Those three routes apply to everything Adams Gas supplies, from propane and patio gas to welding gas, CO₂, helium and camping gas.
The quickest way to find bottled gas near you
The fastest option is the stockist finder. Enter your postcode and it lists the independent shops, garages, hardware stores and trade counters near you that carry Adams Gas cylinders, along with what each one stocks and how to contact them. Because stockists are local businesses, opening hours and ranges vary, so it is worth a quick call before you travel for a specific size.
If you would rather have gas brought to you, check the areas we deliver to. Our A–Z directory covers more than 120 towns and postcode areas, and gas bottle delivery takes the cylinder straight to a home or business address.
What you can buy locally
Adams Gas covers most common bottled-gas needs, so “gas near me” usually means one of these:
- BBQ, patio and heating gas. Propane and butane bottles for barbecues, patio heaters, caravans and off-grid heating.
- Welding gas. Pure argon, argon/CO₂ mixes and CO₂ for MIG and TIG welding, in disposable and refillable sizes. See the MIG and welding cylinders range or the welding gas supplier guide.
- CO₂ and drinks gas. CO₂ and mixed gas for pubs, bars and cellars, and CO₂ for home bar and dispense systems. Our CO₂ cylinders explained guide breaks down the sizes.
- Refills for home carbonation systems. Screw-on and push-on CO₂ refills that fit the common sparkling-water makers.
- Helium. Disposable canisters and refillable cylinders for party and event balloons.
- Camping gas. Resealable camping gas bottles and canisters for stoves, lanterns and small heaters.

Refills and rent-free cylinders: how it works
Most Adams Gas cylinders are rent-free. You pay a one-off, refundable deposit for the cylinder itself the first time, then pay only for the gas each time you refill or exchange it. There is no ongoing annual rental, which is what makes rent-free cylinders cost-effective for regular users. If you stop needing the gas, you return the cylinder and get the deposit back.
In practice, that means “refill near me” works one of two ways: you exchange your empty for a full one at a local stockist, or you order a refill online for delivery. Either way the deposit stays with you, so you are only ever paying for gas. The rent-free cylinders explainer sets out the deposit-and-refill model in full.
Local delivery across the UK
If no stockist is convenient, order online for delivery instead. Adams Gas delivers cylinders to homes and businesses across more than 120 areas, with the widest coverage around our Kent base. Online ordering is often the simplest route for heavier commercial cylinders, awkward sizes, or bulk trade orders that a small local shop may not keep in stock.
For businesses: put your counter on the map
If customers keep asking you where to buy gas locally, that demand is worth capturing. Independent shops, garages, forecourts, hardware stores, agricultural merchants and plant-hire firms can become an Adams Gas stockist: you hold rent-free stock, appear in the stockist finder that shoppers use to search “gas near me”, and earn margin on every refill and exchange. It is a low-commitment way to add a repeat-purchase product that brings people back. Trade and higher-volume buyers can also talk to us about account supply.
Finding gas near you: the short version
Search the stockist finder for your nearest counter, check the delivery directory if you would rather order to your door, and remember that rent-free cylinders mean you only ever pay for the gas on a refill. For trade supply or stockist enquiries, get in touch or apply to join the network.

Can I refill my gas bottle locally, or do I have to exchange it?
Both work. At a local stockist you usually exchange an empty cylinder for a full one of the same type. You can also order a refill online for delivery. With rent-free cylinders your refundable deposit stays with you, so each time you are only paying for the gas.
