Hi
I Think You Need Whats Called Self Leveling Compound

Wickes B&q And Most Builders Merchants Sell It

Like A Bag Of Cement Mix It With Water Then Trowel It Over
The Area Sets Hard And Level

Good Luck

Hi when I used it we left it for a week but we had plenty of other
to get on with we eventually tiled the kitchen
so i can't put a time on it but as a guess 48hr's I'm sure the
builders merchants will confirm, sorry i can't help any more than that
what was left over is still at the daughter's

all the best

Best is to use a latex screed. Its a 2 part mix approx £23 retail. With laminate it does'nt have to be perfect,so you can patch screed the dips etc.

With these you would still require a DPM, with timbermate excell you wouldnt as you already would be aware.......are the dips so bad that the excell wont disguise as this is pretty decent thickness?

bag of latex self leveller is best as others have said.... best to get from trade shop like platform/selco as it is a lot cheaper! Easy to use and drys pretty quick, should be able to lay floor a day or so after.
