Physical inspections by our qualified Technicians are always recommended for final certification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this consultation suitable for any van make or model?
Yes. We cover all common UK campervan base vehicles including the VW Transporter, Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Fiat Ducato, Vauxhall Movano, and Renault Master. The technical standards we advise on apply regardless of the base vehicle.
Will this session cover both gas and electrics?
Yes — a single session can cover multiple systems. We recommend prioritising your most pressing questions in advance so we can make the most of your 60 minutes. Many customers focus on one system per session for maximum depth.
Does this count as an official gas or electrical certificate?
No. This is an advisory consultation only. It does not replace a formal Gas Safety Record, an EICR, or any other statutory certification. We always recommend a physical inspection by a qualified engineer for final sign-off.

Absolutely. The service is fully remote (WhatsApp Video or Phone) and available to customers across the whole of the UK, including Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and all regions of England.
What do I need to prepare before the call?
After booking, you'll be invited to share photos, sketches, or wiring diagrams. The more detail you provide, the more your technician can prepare — making your 60 minutes as productive as possible.
How quickly can I book a session?
