Tiny Build Electrics provides professional electrical inspection and testing services for a wide range of off-grid electrical systems, including campervans, motorhomes, cabins, tiny homes, and fixed off-grid buildings.
Whether an electrical system was installed as part of a DIY build or by another contractor, inspection and testing helps verify that it is safe, compliant, and fit for use.
Our inspection services focus on identifying safety risks, installation faults, and compliance issues before they lead to system failures, damage, or fire. All inspections are carried out using recognised testing methods and aligned with relevant elements of BS7671, with clear documentation provided.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is electrical inspection and testing?
Electrical inspection and testing is a structured process used to assess the safety, condition, and compliance of an existing electrical system. It helps identify installation faults, safety risks, and deterioration that may not be visible during normal use, particularly in off-grid electrical systems.
What types of electrical systems do you inspect and test?
We carry out electrical inspection and testing for campervans, motorhomes, off-grid cabins, tiny homes, retreats, and fixed off-grid buildings. This includes both DIY-installed systems and professionally installed electrical systems.
Do you provide EICR certification?
Where appropriate, inspection and testing may result in an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) or equivalent inspection documentation. Reports clearly outline the condition of the electrical system, any issues identified, and recommended actions, aligned with relevant elements of BS7671.
Why is electrical inspection and testing important for off-grid systems?
Off-grid electrical systems often operate at higher currents, rely on batteries, inverters, and charging systems. Inspection and testing helps ensure systems are safe, correctly protected, and suitable for continued use, reducing the risk of electrical faults, overheating, or fire.
When should I book an electrical inspection and test?
Electrical inspection and testing is recommended after completing a DIY build, when purchasing a used vehicle or off-grid property, before extended travel or full-time use, following electrical modifications, or when certification is required for insurance or resale. If your unsure if this applies to your situation, feel free to get in contact with us.
Where is electrical inspection and testing carried out?
Inspection and testing is typically carried out at our Cumbria workshop, allowing thorough testing in a controlled environment using calibrated test equipment. In some cases, on-site inspection may be available depending on system type and location.
Is electrical inspection and testing the same as an installation service?
No. Inspection and testing focuses on assessing the safety and condition of an existing system, rather than installing or modifying electrics. If issues are identified, we will clearly explain the findings and discuss any recommended remedial work separately.
How long does an electrical inspection and test take?
The duration depends on the size and complexity of the electrical system. Most inspections are completed within a single appointment, with results and documentation provided once testing is complete.
How much does electrical inspection and testing cost?
Electrical inspection and testing is priced at £250, which includes the inspection, testing, and relevant documentation. Any remedial work, if required, is quoted separately following the inspection.
Do you offer support after the inspection?
Yes. We provide clear guidance after inspection, helping you understand the results and advising on any recommended improvements or next steps to ensure your electrical system remains safe and reliable.
