Have you managed to get the gas. ?
As in past have found it difficult due to them being the black top liquid off take cylinders. Main Calor Centre in Lincoln doesn't stock them and had to order through Calor area rep.
Bulk tank is way forward I think. Luckily didn't need to use ours thus season.

Had a bit of luck and a mate found some bottles on a farm, need to get them filled now, last time I spoke to Calor they would fill if I had bottles, but wouldn’t supply a new customer. 🤞

Just make sure they have some in stock to exchange as not always available. Don't think they will fill your existing bottles, just swap.
As said, I think if you didn't have any bottles to exchange they are not taking on new customers. Especially private ones wanting propane cylinders for caravans etc.
 
Or 6 of these with pigtails to daisy chain the cylinders

Last time I wanted to change a cylinder at the local merchant took a 13 Kg and asked if I could swap for smaller one. No way was the response, since we have small ones and Calor are desperate to get the 13 kg back in !
