Identify what feels awkward, what is worn and what you would prefer to keep. The condition of the existing structure and fittings will shape the options.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-group chapter reveal is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><p class=\"chapter-number wp-block-paragraph\">02<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Separate a refresh from a rebuild.<\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-group chapter-body is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replacing a fitting is a different job from changing a worktop or moving a sink. A new layout can also bring plumbing, electrical and civil-work requirements.

Timing depends on the agreed scope, site readiness and product availability. Ask for the sequence in writing before work begins.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-group faq-section is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group faq-heading is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><p class=\"eyebrow wp-block-paragraph\">A little clarity<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before we begin.<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"faq-list\"><details><summary>Can I keep my existing appliances?<\/summary><p>Possibly.
