Opening a new account
Would you like to place your first order from BOC? Please note, we only supply our cylinders on a rental basis, enabling us to maintain cylinders with regular testing and ensure they are safe and fit for use. Any cylinder which does not meet our safety standards will be removed from circulation and disposed of safely. To maintain high standards, we will not fill non-BOC gas cylinders.
To start renting gas, you’ll need to open an account with BOC. There is a different process for consumers, companies and healthcare professionals.
Which of the below best describes you? If you are an individual or part of a partnership of fewer than four people or part of an unincorporated organisation, then you are a consumer. Check your company type at Companies House.

Medical Oxygen is a licensed medical gas and can only be supplied to approved healthcare professionals for clinical use. If you require medical oxygen for personal use due to a medical condition, you will first need to be assessed by a registered healthcare professional. Same as for prescription drugs, if not used under the supervision of a trained healthcare practitioner, medical oxygen could be potentially harmful.
