I fear this may cause a bit of eye rolling, but my questions is...if using tanking slurry on a damp concrete floor, does it have to meet the edge of the wall? I ask because the I'm loathed to remove the fitted kitchen, and the area under the cupboards is dry. I know the key word is 'tanking', as to fully enclose, but would there be any benefit it leaving this area to 'breathe'. My intention is to level after, then tile. Any help/info. would be very much appreciated

None of the new floors I install can breathe as they have 1200g polythene underneath them. That's the whole point in preventing moisture ingress.

If the area under the units is dry, then what's the problem with the general area. If there's a damp patch, then use a liquid dpm, add some sharp sand, and then level and tile.
