Protect your property and loved ones with my professional fire and smoke alarm installation services that comply with the latest building regulations.

I supply and install a range of fire detection systems, from basic smoke alarms to comprehensive interconnected systems with heat detectors, carbon monoxide monitors, and remote monitoring capabilities. My installations ensure that when one alarm detects danger, all alarms sound to provide maximum warning time.

For properties with specific requirements, I install specialised detection equipment including optical smoke detectors (ideal for living spaces), heat alarms (for kitchens and garages), and multi-sensor detectors for enhanced protection. I also offer systems with strobe lights and vibration pads for residents with hearing impairments.

All my installations comply with BS 5839-6 standards and current building regulations. I provide full documentation and user training to ensure you understand how to test and maintain your system for continued reliability.

Fire and Smoke Alarms: common questions

As a guide: a smoke alarm in the hall and on each landing, a heat alarm in the kitchen, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a boiler, fire or stove. I confirm the layout for your property when I quote.

In England, a rented home needs at least one smoke alarm on every storey used as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance other than a gas cooker. The alarms must be checked as working at the start of each new tenancy.

Mains-powered alarms with a battery back-up, linked so they all sound together, give the best protection. Where running new cable would mean lifting floors, radio-linked alarms connect to each other wirelessly instead.

Most alarms have a working life of about ten years and carry a replace-by date on the casing. Test them monthly with the test button, and replace any that have passed their date.
