5 Kitchen Renovations

The parts for building cabinets can be bought as a flat-packed system or separately.

 

Replacing old cabinets usually involves removing the sink and taps, requiring a plumber to disconnect and reconnect them.

 

Cooktops and ovens should be removed and reconnected by an electrician, except for freestanding ovens that remain in the same spot.

 

 

To remove the old sink unscrew the metal clips securing it to the benchtop, working from the undersink cabinet, separating the old tap for refitting or disposal.

 

If replacing the sink but not the benchtop ensure the new sink is the same size to fit the cutout. Also check any new tapware matches the plumbing setup before buying.

 

TIP - A plumber is required to disconnect and reconnect the water to taps and the waste pipe.
