I’ve just had a look at resin based self levelling compound, which looks pretty good - very hard when it has cured and very smooth.

Not sure if this is any good but probably cost effective in the long run.

Yes this stuff looks really good and I’d prefer to use it to be honest but when I looked at it most are only for thin coverings and I don’t think they would cover some of high spots on mine unfortunately, I think I’m going to need at least 10mm to level the bumps out in some places

It seems to say it is okay for more than 10mm. It specifically refers to screed.
 
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I am in the process of building a workshop with a concrete floor. I am at the pre-fit-out stage.

I wasn’t planning to go for an ultra smooth finish, but reading this thread, perhaps I should reconsider things. I was going to seal and paint the floor but not fill the ripples. Am I making a mistake?
Old trick when laying it is once it is tamped and levelled drag a length of the narrow DPC strip across it. You need two people. Just pull the strip tight curling the leading edge up slightly like the front of a ski. Then drag it over the surface. Gives a very smooth finish, almost as good as floating it.
