Advice re combining wood burning boiler stoves, gas boiler and wet underfloor heating

[mikeeng]

About to start renovating/extending a house and wondered if anyone had combined a wood burning boiler stoves, gas boiler and wet underfloor heating.

The house is 1940's built 4 bed semi (165sqm) with a bathroom, ensuite and downstairs WC (1 bath 2 showers, 3 toilets) We're planning on putting Wet UFH downstairs (been looking at Polypipe but any other recommendations gratefully received) and rads upstairs.

As we're putting in a wood burner anyway, I just wondered if it was worth upgrading the burner to one with a built in water boiler stove and perhaps benefit from some cheaper heating in the winter (as the fire will be on most days and we can get free/very cheap wood)?
Any advice, think I have seen somewhere that this is possible with a thermal store but I'd appreciate any words of wisdom.
Thanks

Have a research of a H2 panel, not a diy job though.

Phoenix services thanks just spoke to Mike from h2panel who talked me through his panel system which sounds great. At £587 plus VAT, the cost seems pretty reasonable. Has anyone else used/installed?

Great forum, thanks all.
I can sort a burst pipe but just to reassure you all, I wouldn't ever dream of touching something like this. However, if anyone is suitably qualified, based in/near Surrey (walton on thames) and has some experience it would be great to hear from you.

Any thoughts on good underfloor systems or more importantly who to stay away from?
