    Have a phone around and see who'll cut MDF/ply. Just a quick Google near you and there's London Water Jet, Rapid Laser, Middlesex Laser and so on. Engraving type places might not be able to cope with an 8'x4" sheet btw. Out of interest if you cut MDF with a water jet the edges swell a tad then shrink back! We can easily knock up something on CAD if you want and I'm sure the collective will have plenty of input. HTF will you get it up? Scaffold tower and assemble in situ? I'd likely Sikaflx and pin the MDF to the 25mm edges. Bendy pb to that with pb screws and let the spread do his magic after.

    Tiling! Ply as drawn is 25mm as in each "eigth" is 12.5mm ply. Work in progress this but I can CAD it up. Well worth thinking about asking a local water jet cutter to you. You'd get a super accurate kit of parts to just assemble. I could do a DXF file the water jetters could put straight on their machine.

    Say 3 "support" rings, each made from 8 identical bits of "mdf or ply. 12 bits per sheet so two sheets gives 24 pieces - enough for 3 rings: Little wastage. Could clamp two sheets together and jigsaw but cries out for laser or water jet imo: Orientate: Clamp/glue/screw. They're 1830 across flats. Inner circle to suit:

    Make accurate 4-piece sandwiches for each "ring"? Then all bolts & glues together. Circle here is 1830mm dia but can change easily
  5. Onoff
    1830mm to the internal plastered faces?

    Just playing. Connect the red bits of wood with long studding? Green is the flexi layers Gotta love spending other people's money!

    Crossed post on the V-Cut, I was still typing my post! For a perfect circle you could get ply or MDF sheets water jet cut then space them up the hole then just "line" with the flexible sheets.

    Flexible plasterboard in two 6mm layers. Gyproc do one. V-Cut is another make. There's a thread somewhere where @jamiehamy did a curved wall. Maybe flexible MDF underneath for strength.

    Well impressed with my lad and his 3 mates the way they're keeping their house rented for uni.
  10. Onoff
    Erm...keep up! Fair play to the lad combining business & hobby.
  11. Onoff
    Erm...no, I just know you can get them...

    You can get alarms to fit on a tundish...

    Fair enough. I was reading about the Larsen system where he would wrap the whole building in plastic then fit his system over the top.

    @MarkyP, where in your EWI make up is the vcl, if there is one?

    You having a dig Sugar?
  19. Onoff
    I wonder if the possible lack of tundish would be picked up on a later inspection? Guess not if they just inspect the boiler?

    Presume you have a Landlords Gas Safety Cert?

    There was graphene paint a few years back to supposedly be used as a heating element on walls.
  22. Onoff
    Fair enough. Was there a minimum ambient temperature allowed for in the design?
  23. Onoff
    I forgot @scottishjohn was in the Arctic! Out of interest how would your build fare up North? At what point doesn't it "work"?
  24. Onoff
    No vested interest here whatsoever but I can confirm, having visited @PeterStarck's house that UFH is not really required. Might have something to do with his meticulous attention to detail on the build where it counts and the fact his air tightness beats the regs by a factor of something like x4. The sprayed icynene insulation too.

    Still on the drugs then? I've heard some shit in my time but this takes the top prize...
