Have a look at:

http://www.rfsolutions.co.uk
http://www.radiometrix.co.uk
http://www.lprs.co.uk

They all do UK equipment, prices seem reasonable.  I think the addresses

Traditionally, it's been 173 and 418 MHz, but there are lots of recently
reallocated ones- the above websites will have the sort of info you need.
As a rough idea, ISTR 2 ends of RS-232 modem with a 1km range costing
=A3100
to =A3300 each end.
