Out of interest I had a random water jetter near the OP price this up. To supply x2 8'x4' sheets of MDF/ply and cut into 24 identical ribs.....around £300+VAT. Customer collects. So...I reckon this can be done out of "planks" cut and screwed to form the octagon.

@PeterW put @zoothorn onto some for his kitchen a while back.

Are you fussed what it looks like from above? Looking through the roof light from above you'll see all the timber supports that are supporting the tube. What you want is a nice, neat, octagonal board to infill the hole! How deep is it btw, roughly?

Bath pocket...mulled over a few designs for fitting the 2m LED strip. Settled on one now...I think! Decided I just want the "glow" when lying in the bath rather than to see the strip. First stage then, I Gorilla glued a couple of 12.5mm marine ply strips on to give a 1" deep lip: The aluminium track will sit up behind this. Tonight to form the horizontal "lip" maybe and start the tanking on this area. I can see that replacing this strip might be a pain! Should have used 25mm conduit! Tbh I could do with removing the light strip & cable whilst I do this. All a bit tight as the 25mm lip half covers the conduit now. Poor planning as usual!

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
-
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.
-
Erm...keep up! Fair play to the lad combining business & hobby.
-
Erm...no, I just know you can get them...

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

Bfo thermal store?

We still need to talk about me getting my deposit back?

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?
-
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.
