Do my Current Smoke Alarms Comply?

A scatter of question marks
  • My HMO property has interlinked alarms in every room.
  • My new extension has an alarm hard-wired into my existing system.
  • My rental property has tamper-proof, 10-year lithium battery powered alarms in the hallway, living room & heat & CO detectors in the kitchen.
  • My two-storey home has tamper-proof, 10-year lithium battery powered alarms in the hallway, upstairs landing, living room & heat & CO detectors in the kitchen.  
  • My system was installed by a qualified, registered electrician who was aware of the new government guidelines.

If your system ticks these above boxes you probably don’t need to upgrade. If you have any doubt or still don’t know, please get in touch today!

  • I have to replace the batteries in my smoke alarms.
  • My gas boiler is in the garage and I only have a CO detector in the kitchen.
  • My standalone alarms are not fitted with radio-frequency modules to interlink them.
  • My alarms are hard-wired with an alkaline battery backup.
  • My new extension has a battery-powered alarm.
  • My HMO property doesn’t have alarms in the bedrooms.
  • I’m a landlord and I think my system complies, but I don’t have certification to prove it.

These are cases in which your system does not comply and you’ll need to upgrade. Get in touch to arrange your installation!
