    I usually use a mixture of latex levelling compound, bulked with an equal amount of sharp sand.
    This can be tapered from the 20mm to 2-3mm.

    150-200mm is deep for a standard screed, could you not use some rapid concrete to build up first then screed

    normally screed level around perimatre then fall to waste 12mm to 15mm is all you need on a base that size best to have waste centred or you will find it a bit harder
