gotta do some kitchen floor screeding over an unlevel concrete floor, about
5m x 3m. Any recommendations, hints and tips?

Baten's placed level around the perimiter, fill with screed tamp down
well and if necessary work over with a float, prolly not the correct
way but worked for me :-)

Plus mix all the screed EXACTLY the same, and keep it fairly dry. Wet
screed cracks and slumps.

Possibly stupid question, but presumably 'screed' in this case is not
what is sold as 'self-levelling floor screed', in which case what is
it? A product? a specific mixture of sand, cement otherstuff etc.?

1:3 sand cement, dry but not too "crumbly". I take it you know to use a
tamping batten from one of the leveled battens to the other and draw
the screed back tamping as you go, the floor is then guaranteed level
:-) as long as ure batens are level :-)

Oops wrong way round 1:3 cement sand, or it would cost you a bomb and
crack line hell :-(
