Week of shit stuff going wrong has been compounded by our washing machine install hitting a blocker. Tbf the guy was nice and the company are arranging another one without charge.

Long story short I need to level the floor surface under the cabinets where the washing machine was.

So my plan is:
- to nip to screwfix
- buy whatever the no nonsense self leveling compound is
- use silicone or wood to make a 'boundary'
- slap it on and leave it
Any problems with my plan? Any tips for using self leveling, or is it just following instructions?

Cheers

The amount self levelling self levels, depends on how you mix it up. I used it to rebuild the hearth in the living room. It was very easy to use. I did make it slightly looser, which meant it found every minute gap there was so there's probably a few litres under the floor. If you make a frame and cauly the seams you'd be fine. Or use plastic sheet as has been said.

Cheers.

Annoyingly from reading it sounds like you want a SLC designed for the right depth. Cleaning has uncovered a massive fucking hole.

Am I over-thinking this, or will it matter?
