Why Tiny Build Electrics
We're Authorised Victron Installers
Tiny Build Electrics is an Authorised Victron Energy Installer. We’ve completed Victron’s official training and meet their strict standards for design and support. That gives you expert system configuration, full manufacturer warranty backing, seamless component integration, and remote monitoring via the VRM portal. Most leisure-industry installers aren’t authorised. We deliver properly supported, high-performance Victron systems that others can’t.
We're Qualified Electricians
Every installation is carried out by qualified electricians. Across the UK leisure sector, many companies fitting electrical systems aren’t qualified and skip proper testing and certification. That creates real risks around safety, insurance, and compliance. We don’t. You get professional standards, full documentation, and genuine peace of mind that your system is safe and properly certified.
BS 7671 Compliant Systems
All our systems are designed, installed, and certified to BS 7671 - the UK’s Wiring Regulations. We test thoroughly and provide complete documentation. Many leisure sector installers cut corners on compliance, leaving customers with unsafe or non-certified work. We don’t. You receive a properly engineered, fully compliant installation that protects safety, insurance validity, and long-term value.

Customer Reviews
“An incredibly helpful and interesting session with Tom reviewing our mostly built system. Tom had loads of updated information which I hadn't gleaned from the countless hours of research while designing and building. Made several recommendations to bring the build into line with regulations and undoubtedly improved safety - as well as really good suggestions for configuring the Victron kit. Also got a fantastic summary of the meeting via email - brilliant. Thanks so much (and sorry about the late review!).” — Mark Sapsford
“After searching for the right person to do our electrics, we came across Charlie at TBE and immediately knew he was the one for the job. He completely delivered on everything he promised — and honestly went above and beyond. He’s incredibly thorough, exceptionally tidy, highly knowledgeable, and an all-round great guy to work with. We took our van to him during the early stages of the build because of timing constraints, but Charlie adapted around everything without any issues. I genuinely can’t recommend TBE and the quality of work enough.” — Eleni Griffith
“Tom at Tiny Build Electrics has been an absolute life saver for us. Having no knowledge at all about what we needed or was doing, he was able to point us in the right direction, giving nothing but safe and professional advice. Although we had no physical services from Tom (due to distance) we were able to rule out good from bad installers and have our electrics installed, understanding more in detail what was being done. Thanks so much, Tom. You’re a legend!” — TravelWithTheLinthwaites
“Tom was incredibly insightful and helpful to us with our project. He provided a detailed summary of our options, providing all the information we required to make an informed decision. We would highly recommend - Thanks Tom” — Upper Barn Build
“Tom is very helpful, down to earth, and takes the time to listen and understand what you're trying to achieve with your project, before creating a custom solution for your needs. Very happy with my overall experience and cant recommend enough!” — Aled Williams
“Very helpful from the design of the system, to the delivery, to the support and explanation for the installation. Thanks a lot!” — Camille Lê
“I can't recommend Tiny Build Electrics enough! When staring my van build journey, I had no knowledge of electrical systems and how they work. With the help of Tiny Build Electrics and their knowledge and patience, I understood very quickly what to look out for and how to follow regulations. These guys aren't just a "one system fits all" type of company. Every system is designed to fit your needs and requirements. Apart from their vast knowledge which they are very happy to share, I was greatly impressed by the customer orientated human factor behind every interaction. Nothing is too much, no question is dismissed. Tiny Build Electric has managed to build a like minded community where helping each other solve problems and understanding your systems is at the forefront. If you're looking for a solid company who knows what they're doing with great customer service and a like-minded community, TBE is it! Thanks Tom and Charlie :)” — Martina Baeuerle
“Service of the highest level and customer support is always on hand if any problem or question may arise.” — Jacob Carton
“I started with having a consultation with Tom after I wasn’t fully confident in another company’s specifications for our system and from that chat with Tom I decided this is who I want my system from it was so simple Tom took all the information on what we needed and explained all the different options and what he would recommend and how the system would work and the wealth of post purchases support available so we ordered everything and I installed it with the simple to follow schematics and install manual then took the van to Charlie to be inspected and tested for the peace of mind a service I couldn’t find anywhere else. There after sale support is excellent with the WhatsApp group and a community of like minded people no problem is to big and to and Charlie are always there to help. Would 100% recommend and will be using them for all my future projects” — Alex James
“A very cleverly set up business for the keen but novice van builder. My electrical system set-up was designed and purchased 2 years ago, and I have installed it in phases. With the Whatsapp group I feel fully supported - users further on in the process will dip in to questions, and if it's a major question, Tom and Charlie will respond.” — Sally Williams
“I started off with just a single consultation but ended up getting a full system from these guys. Their support has been continuous and ongoing and they’ve built an active community to support all the small questions that pop up. I would recommend them without reservation.” — Ricky Cauldwell
“Tiny Build Electrics were recomended to me by a freind, he used them and was very impessed as am I. I was concerned about how to go about the electric fit out of my van ( having only little electrical experiance) but with the drawing supplied with my order it made it all so much clearer and with the fitting guide it seemed possable. Also the whats app group were fantastic, always some one on hand to help with any problem i came a cross. In summery i am very pleased with Tiny Build and would use them again and he happy to reccomend them.” — Barry Parkinson
“As always, tiny build have installed all of our 12v and 230v seamlessly and safely. This was on my parents Hymer and they rightly trusted tiny build! Thanks again! Super polite and helpful friendly service and support too” — Jonathan Dicks
“Tom was great when helping to design my campervan electrics and he is really knowledgable. The WhatsApp group has been really useful, helping with any queries throughout my build.” — Lucy Thornton
“When we started our van build, the whole thing was very daunting and quite overwhelming, especially the thought of doing our own electrics. Fast forward and we’ve now created the van of our dreams, with an electrical system that has been flawless, and I absolutely couldn’t have done that without the help of Tiny Build Electrics! Their schematics are incredible and have so much detail. Their WhatsApp groups are invaluable for help from Tom, the team and the community as a whole. They can also supply anything and everything you need to safely create a working electrical system based on your personal needs I couldn’t recommend them more!” — Callum Cadney-Moon
“I had a really great experience with Tiny Build Electrics. The initial consultation was thorough and the wiring diagram was really easy to understand and follow. Being part of their WhatsApp community has been a huge bonus; it’s so useful to be able to ask questions and learn from others going through similar projects! The ongoing support with TBE is excellent and makes a big difference. Would absolutely recommend them!” — Eleanor MacKeown
“Couldn’t recommend TBE enough! Tom and team are incredibly knowledgeable and it’s evident just how much they care about getting whatever it is you need exactly right. We’ve had help with multiple van builds over the years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. The TBE community is the cherry on the top!” — Charlie Skinner
“As someone who knows a little about renewable energy applications ( I am an Engineer by profession) I can thoroughly vouch for TB and their expertise and integrity. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.” — Stephen Lowndes
“First made contact with Tom about 5 years ago to help with an advanced electrical set up in my own camper that I was building to explore Europe for a year. I already had chosen my components, but not yet purchased. Tom spent the time to go over my needs and components I had thought I needed and showed me a better way of achieving what I needed. He supported me through the install and always answered my questions and advised on best practices. Since then I’ve used Tom for some customer installs that I wasn’t quite sure about and would highly recommend Tiny build electrics to anyone setting out on their own van conversion.” — Alistair Vernett
