Bent & Queer (B&Q) have it in their Decorating Section, usually beside
the
white spirit.


Would white spirit do the job?

White Spirit is good at cutting greasy marks away, but it leaves residue
behind when it evaporates, so it isn't very good for "cleaning to the quick"
as they say. Metholated Spirit evaporates completely and is much better at
dissolving greasy marks away, so it is a better choice for making the
surfaces clear of any greasy spots which are a major cause of sealants not
adhering properly.
