Maybe I was  mis-informed.........?

Adams gas will be doing acetylene in the new year so I was told, they have a few dealers in the south east or can courier it further. There is no rental just a deposit on the first bottle after that its just refill cost. You could always go with oxy/propane, they sell the torches.

  :update: Thanks for the input, I have been on HSE web site with no results regards private use.
I have contacted BOC, below is their reply,
 "Providing you comply with the relevant health and safety legislation there is no issue with you storing and using these gases at a private property"
 For more information on health and safety please visit our website:

With the delivery of the cylinders, as long as the access roads are wide enough and there are no weight restrictions to the delivery point this will not be a problem.
Thanks guys JD.

If I recall correctly the HSE only has jurisdiction over "The Work Place" and domestic property is of no concern to them.
