When we moved in to our place, the previous owners had put down 20mm insulation and engineered wood on top of the original tiles without removing the kitchen. Replacing the dishwasher was not a fun job. I think I had to pull up 3 rows of floorboards to have enough room to wiggle it out.

Our builders left the washing machine in place when they poured the self-leveller so it was set into the floor so thankfully that did make me think about the levels of things before laying the floor!

PSA: if you are having an additional flooring layer put down in to your kitchen (e.g. laminate, engineered wood), make sure your flooring fitters lift kitchen appliances's feet to be in line with the new flooring surface. Failure to do this will make removing any of the appliances to fix or replace an absolute ballache, so be kind to your future self. /PSA.
