I have taken possession of a new build flat and the concrete floor has a
number of imperfections such as small holes and before laying vinyl I wanted
to make it smooth.
I don't want to use cement, is there a material which can be easily applied
to do the job?
No use asking the builder as he has vanished and we believe is going
bankrupt

I think the term "self leveling" should be reported to trading standards
as mis-representation.

First, how bad is the floor? If they are small bubbles, then some
underlay will be enough.

Use a flexible floor tile cement. Job done.

I don't want to use cement, is there a material which can be easily
applied to do the job?

Could I ask why? Presumably you know you can by small bags of ready mixed
for this sort of repair - you simply add water.

Anything suitable will be some mixture of cement and sand, whether self
levelling compound, tile adhesive, or, mortar. Why the cement issue? Do you
have some sort of sensitivity to it?

No but I did not realise that you can get small quantities of cement.

Dunno if they sell it, but B&Q do. Or funnily, an electrical wholesaler.

While concrete may well do the job, if you have shallow areas you want
to fill you'll find a flexible tile adhesive will bond and feather off
better. If you have deepish holes in an otherwise level floor then
concrete is fine.
