Just buy the kit through the company & fit it lol... Like the rest of us would
And don't forget to work out the T's & C's with your wife prior to starting.

I seem to remember something on the HMRC website about training costs not being tax deductable if the training is to allow you to do something you aren't already doing. So since you say you don't already fit underfloor, they might consider it to be a new business. On the other hand, you won't be able to claim it as a capital gains tax offset when you sell the house if it's a research project, so you might argue that it is a logical step to keep you doing heating work as it becomes more commonplace.
But then is your house's heating a domestic system anymore or does it become a business venture that needs to pay commercial rates
Whatever HMRC tells you, get it in writing. Apparently someone once revamped the kitchen in a rental property with designer kit and sold the place some time after. They didn't claim the full cost when they did the work as it was more an upgrade than routine maintenance, but then when they sold, the taxman said 'that isn't a capital expense: 'one kitchen is much the same as any other'.

If the labours not an allowable business expense then surely the materials won't be allowable?
And are you saying if I change the windows in my house from wooden to modern I can put that through as A business expense? That doesn't sound right.
