Sourcing foam board in the UK

[industrialtrousers]

Frequently on US terrain making sites they use pink or blue foam board which costs pittance. Where do you get that in the UK?
I got some similar stuff from Wickes but it has fibreglass thread running it. I've  blue foam on eBay but it costs a great  more than the prices commonly quoted from the U.S.

You need a Builders Supply (most DIY dont stock this) and you need to look for XPS (not EPS, which is the stuff that the wife will hate you working with in the home)

XPS comes in all sorts of nifty colours, most European sources are Blue, but there is orange, yellow and taupe stuff too.

Also you might check "roof insulation pannels", which is the fancy name it sometimes goes under.

Cheers Lex. I'll have a ferret around the builders website when I get a minute.

And thanks again.
I've also found this one: http://www.theunderfloorheatingstore.com/budget-xps-insulation-boards?utm_source=google_shopping&m=configurable_scp&gclid=Cj0KEQiAw_DEBRChnYiQ_562gsEBEiQA4LcsstDg0GFAssElID9UfVFrF6U68RuOedzTWd4b22Eei3caAnfQ8P8HAQ which looks to have free delivery and a price match.

Now I just need to get a few projects lined up....

I picked up insulation boards from B&Q. Its the pink stuff. Needs cutting down and handy if you have a hot wire cutter.
