The partner productions call when time is tight
Productions already have gas suppliers. What they do not always have is one that can turn round a large order — or a wall of prop cylinders — inside a shoot window. That is where Adams Gas comes in: the volume, the turnaround and the flexibility to say yes when the usual channel says no.
We have supplied a major production with a significant run of empty cylinders as set-dressing props, bought outright — not gas to use, bottles as objects, in quantity, fast. Whether it is genuine CO2, nitrogen or helium for the rig, or empty bottles for the frame, we scale to the job.
- Large volumes supplied at short notice, geared to a shoot schedule
- Empty cylinders supplied as props and set dressing
- Buy cylinders outright when the production needs to own them
- One production point of contact who moves at your pace
What we do for your business
Props & set dressing
Empty cylinders supplied as props for the frame — a run of bottles for a workshop, garage, plant room or industrial set, bought outright in quantity.
Fast turnaround
Large orders pulled together to a shoot date, so a production that has been let down elsewhere does not lose a filming day.
Volume, bought outright
Need to own the cylinders rather than borrow them? We sell outright, in the quantities a production or effects house needs.
One point of contact
A single production contact who takes the brief, confirms availability and keeps the order moving — not a retail queue.
Cylinders & props for the shoot
From prop bottles to genuine effects gas — supplied at volume, fast.
Brief, scaled, on set
Send us the brief
Tell us what you need — real gas or empty prop cylinders, the sizes, the quantity and the date it has to be on set. We confirm availability fast.
We pull the volume together
We source and stage the order at the quantity the shoot needs, bought outright where you need to own the cylinders, and prepare it to your schedule.
On set, on time
Collect from our Margate base or take delivery to the location, so the production keeps filming even when another supplier has let it down.
Large volume, short notice, no drama
Productions and effects houses often need a lot of cylinders for a tight window — and sometimes need them purely as props. We hold the capacity to turn a big order round quickly, supply empty bottles as set dressing, and sell outright when the production needs to own the stock. When your usual supplier cannot meet the volume or the deadline, we step in.
- Large quantities staged and supplied to a shoot date
- Empty cylinders supplied as props and set dressing
- Outright purchase — own the cylinders, no return required
- Cover when a production's usual supplier falls short

Frequently asked questions
Can you supply empty cylinders as props?
Yes. We have supplied productions with runs of empty cylinders purely as set-dressing props, bought outright. Tell us the look, the sizes and how many bottles you need in shot and we will put the order together.
We've been let down — can you supply at short notice?
That is one of the main reasons productions come to us. We hold the capacity to turn a large order round quickly and get it to set on the date, so a supplier falling short elsewhere does not cost you a filming day.
Can we buy the cylinders outright?
Yes. Where a production or effects house needs to own the cylinders rather than borrow them, we sell outright in the quantities you need — for props or for genuine gas supply.
Which gases do you supply for productions?
From our catalogue, CO2 is common for smoke and chill effects, helium for floating set pieces, and nitrogen for rigs and pressurised effects. Tell us the effect you are after and we will confirm the right gas and the volume.
Can you deliver to set or a location?
Yes. Collect from our Margate base or take delivery to your location across Kent, with nationwide delivery available on many lines. Give us the address, the quantity and the date and we will arrange it.
