got 24 packs of Quick Step to lay, along with DPM and softboard underlay, i know about leaving the 8mm expansion gap round for the laminate but what about the softboard underlay? do i go right up to the edges of the wall?

Yes you should as this is the acoustic layer ultimately and any gaps sound gets through. You leave the gaps in the laminate as it is a hard material and needs space to move. The underlay is fiberous and so can adapt to its space.0

Not sure about round the edges !
But, you must leave a gap between each underlay board. If you read the instructions for laying them, it tells you to do so.
