Just a quick thought to consider. if your screeding up to an outside cavity wall you'll need a 25mm insulate all alone the edge of the screed. Maybe the battern will get in the way of this.

ps 3-1 or 6-2 depends on the size of the mixer. Obvious I know but if it wil take a 6-2 then do it and only tip out what you need each time..
 
cheers m8 :rolleyes: never knew about the insulation around the edge so hopefully the 38mm timber around the edges will do
