Professional compressed air services at our Stretton store — serving shooters across South Staffordshire and the West Midlands
At a glance
Shooting Sports UK in Stretton, South Staffordshire offers a professional PCP air rifle refilling and dive bottle filling service for shooters across Staffordshire and the West Midlands. Whether you need a quick direct refill between sessions or a full dive bottle top-up, our trained technicians use professional-grade compressed air equipment to fill your rifle or cylinder safely and accurately to manufacturer specifications.
We serve shooters from Penkridge, Cannock, Stafford, Wolverhampton, Rugeley, Lichfield, Burntwood, Telford, and Walsall. Our Stretton store sits conveniently off the A5 with free on-site parking.
Our dive bottle refilling service accepts all standard cylinder sizes. Each fill is carried out gradually to ensure the cylinder reaches its correct working pressure safely — this is why the process takes 40 minutes or more and must be booked in advance.
Drop-off service available
Leave your bottle with us and collect same day or next day at a time that suits you.
Cylinder sizes accepted
3 litre, 7 litre, and 12 litre. Final price confirmed when you book — from £6.99.
Valid test certificate required
We can only refill bottles with a current, in-date test certificate. Dive bottles typically require re-testing every 5 years.
Not sure about your certificate?
Call us before you visit and we can advise. We cannot refill bottles with expired certification.

Most direct refills are completed while you wait. We recommend calling ahead on 01902 850002 to confirm availability, particularly during busy periods.
If you have your own dive bottle and charging equipment, follow these steps every time you refill your PCP air rifle to avoid damage and reduce the risk of injury.
- Check pressures first Confirm your rifle's current pressure and your dive bottle's remaining pressure before connecting anything.
- Attach the filling adapter Connect the adapter firmly to your rifle's charging port — a loose connection will cause air loss and inaccurate fills.
- Connect the charging hose Attach the hose securely to your dive bottle valve. Check for any wear or damage to the hose before use.
- Open the valve slowly Always open gradually to prevent dangerous pressure spikes. Never open fully in one motion.
- Monitor pressure carefully Fill only to your rifle's maximum rated pressure — typically 200–250 bar. Never exceed the manufacturer's specification.
- Close valve and bleed the hose Shut the valve fully, then release pressure from the hose before disconnecting any fittings.
- Final safety check Inspect all connections and verify the fill pressure on your rifle's gauge before storing or using.
