try asking on the UK Goat forum, a few of us from the UK are members on here but the majority of biofuelers from the UK hang out there.
I prefer NaOH but others prefer KOH

NaOH = cheap but the glyc can set hard in colder weather
KOH = more expensive but the glyc stays liquid and KOH glyc can be composted, but soap can be harder to deal with with KOH

Cal-Chem Ltd.,
Unit A3, Hortonwood 10, Telford
NaOH, Isopropyl alcohol and acetone.

TENNANTS DISTRIBUTION LTD
Ryders Green Road,,West Bromwich,B70 0AN
NaOH, KOH, methanol, most chemicals known to man.

Trinity Research, somewhere near Manchester :-)
http://www.trinity-research.co.uk/chemicalsales.php
Methanol 99.85% virgin grade (25L, 205L and 1000L IBC)
NaOH Anhydrous Pearl (5kg and 25kg)
KOH Anhydrous Flake (5kg and 25kg)
H2SO4 96% (2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg and 25kg)
IsoPropanol Alcohol (1L, 5L, 25L)

I used to pick up a barrel of methanol from Tennants but I believe the ADR regs have changed now and all you can get for personal transportation is 60 litres without ADR training and certification. My last methanol purchase was an IBC, delivered. If you just want a small quantity of NaOH / KOH / methanol, I can help, PM me. I'm near Whitchurch, Shropshire.

All the best
