Smoke Alarms

Saving Lives

A properly installed smoke alarm can provide a vital early warning of fire, giving occupants valuable extra time to escape. Smoke can spread through a property very quickly, particularly at night when people may be asleep and less likely to notice a fire. 

Mains-powered smoke alarms with a backup battery provide a reliable means of fire detection and, when interlinked, allow an alarm in one part of the property to activate the others.

Mains Powered & Interlinked

For domestic properties, smoke alarms can be installed in suitable locations such as the hallway and landing, with additional detection provided where appropriate. Interlinked alarms offer greater protection. 

The linking of alarms together means that If one alarm detects smoke, the other interconnected alarms sound at the same time, helping to alert occupants throughout the property. 

Installation should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the relevant requirements of BS 5839-6.

Rental Properties in Wales

Smoke alarms are particularly important in rented accommodation. 

Landlords here are required to provide a working smoke alarm on every storey of their property dwelling. 

The required alarms must be connected to the property's electrical supply and linked to the other smoke alarms that are connected to the electrical supply. 

These requirements form part of the Welsh Government's fitness for human habitation requirements. 

Installation & Replacement

Whether you are a homeowner, landlord or letting agent, I can install new mains-powered and interlinked smoke alarms or replace older or unsuitable units. 

The existing electrical installation can be assessed and the most appropriate arrangement discussed with you before work is undertaken. Additional heat or smoke detection may also be appropriate depending upon the layout and use of the property.
