If this is outside IR35 and there are no other limitations (like the data can't leave the UK) you could theoretically work from the Chech Republic using a UK LTD, but you'd either:
1) need to be extra careful with your company's tax residency (which has nothing to do with your personal tax residency), which would mean you'd need to collect evidence that its the seat of control is in the UK (so some travelling would be required). I'd start checking CZ-UK double taxation tax treaty - it should be laid out what factors must be triggered for an overseas company to have a permanent establishment. If you see a realistic scenario to avoid having a PE in CZ, it could be fine.
2) need a CZ company to bill your UK company but it will be terribly complex and expensive finding accountants in both countries to manage it . You can forget about accountants like Gorilla or Paystream, they won't touch it (been there, tried that)
To give you some comfort , the things are slowly changing (there's more and more contracts that consider overseas contractors operating via their local LTDs). At least in my sector (finance/insurance).
