Try Drayton Welding & Tool Connections Ltd telephone: 01529 414774 in Sleaford.
Last time I rang them they did the pub style Co2 on exchange so they may do other gasses ?

Why use Argon - Could use CO2 (carbon dioxide). You could be-friend you local publican. As they use this for pumping lager.
Watch Mixed gas used for beers like guiness won't work
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

if you are in a hurry, consider getting a small disposable bottle. I know its inefficient, but sometimes its best to just get progress!

Mild steel is the most welder-friendly metal - the ideal gas is something like Argoshield from BOC, which is a mixture of Argon, CO2 & other
gasses.
Cheapest and easiest to find is CO2 - hotter, more splatter, but otherwise a good shielding gas. Some welders seem to prefer it.
