    No mate it isnt. The old Mapei Latexplan Trade I use to use was 2 part and was good too, but not as easy flowing I found.

    Do you prefer the 2 part slc's then?

    I predominantly use the Mapei Renovation Screed now. I can get it from Tile Giant for around £9 per unit less than Ardex NA, it is a single part fibre re-inforced leveller that really works. I find it really easy to use and get great results with it so it ticks my box.

    I now have to order in the Ren Screed from my local Tile Giant whereas I could get the Latexplan off the shelf. I am saving with the Ren.Screed though so dont mind waiting. Still use Latexplan if caught out by last minute job or change of spec.

    I'm fortunate Geoff that both my local TG's will stock products that I ask for, so I never normally struggle to get hold of Renovation Screed and white P9 addy .

    The Mapei SLC are very every good if you can get it easily then use it, I find it as a pig to get my hands on and the Larsen I can take off the shelf and IMO, is a brilliant SLC. Unfortunately their adhesives are not a patch on the Mapei gear but it is a fraction of the price. The standard if good but their rapid is very very very rapid, fine for repairs and what not but wouldn't go over to them for everything.

    'Level it one' by Ultra for me, requires minimal troweling and can go down from 3-50mm in one hit. Decent price for the quality.

    Still think the Mapei Fibre Plan is the thickest and smoothest and most expensive! But excellent for UFH.

    Where do you get it from mate? Topps is £16 as you say, would be nice to get it a bit cheaper.
