I am in the process of redoing part of my kitchen / diner concrete
floor.
It is incredibly uneven, so I am going to take away part of the old
concrete floor and renew it. I believe it is past levelling with any
screed. The previous owner must have laid it whilst drunk.
When I have done this, I will need to level it with screed.
Can anyone reccomend a self levelling floor compound that is easy to
use and to obtain?
I have never done this before, so is it really self levelling if I just
spread it as evenly as possible?

Unless you have a damp problem, you really don't need a latex screed,
which is expensive and not that easy to use.
I've used pre-mixed general purpose mortar with 4 water: 1 pva for this
and it holds well at the edges.
Getting the floor smooth is pretty straightforward with a length of
timber. Getting it level is not so easy and can give you problems at
doorways etc
