OPENING-AGREED OBSERVATIONS
Period houses, mansion flats and carefully finished bathrooms supply access context only.
finish-protected evidence: record photographs of access panels, material edges and the proposed opening route.

least-disruptive evidence: define the finished position.
Use one unaffected outlet only when sensible.

START WITH THE HOUSEHOLD ACCOUNT
Bespoke cupboards and retained timber can hide a perfectly ordinary valve or pipe joint. The plumbing question comes first: where is the likely connection, what can be seen through an existing opening, and what access would actually change the diagnosis?
Agree who removes and reinstates decorative work. Product details and panel drawings can prevent unnecessary opening, but they do not replace checking the live fitting and its isolation.
