Mapei Renovation screed is also excellent for the slow setting variety.

Mapei recently already have a rapid version, Ultraplan Maxi

I usually use bal level max but used mapei renovation screed on my last job. They are fairly similar, but mapei seemed to flow a little more.

I have used both recently,depending on which was on offer at the time. But at low thickness levels I wouldn't call them 'self leveling'

Agree! You can’t use a spiked roller with Bal either.

Never come across that one, can you use that on UFH? flexible?, thickness limits?

it is OK for solid floors and up to 20mm and obviously OK for UFH.

UFH,yes. But only over concrete it seems. No mention of overboarded timber floors.

yes - as I wrote above ^ it is OK for solid floors.

If I have to go on timber I use their TM levelflex ..... I know a lot of softfloor guys who swear by this for timber....

I tend to use Ultra 2 part if I can wait over night but i can highly recommend Topps fast track if you need a rapid setting slc.
Easily walkable within 45mins every time I have used it.

I've used a lot of levelflex but I don't really like it, doesn't flow and never seems to set that hard
