Ultimately, you must do what is right for you and allows you to make a living, preferably ethically, serving the small population available to you.
However, a quick read of the Standards of Practice seems to say kitchen appliances and cabinets are specifically excluded from the Stands of Practice inspection. And the Code of Ethics section below (see bold) says if it’s not included in the Standards of Practice inspection, the provision does NOT apply.
Go forth and make a living.
