Fire alarms: questions

Something else on your mind? Call 07786 066275 or see all questions.

Do smoke alarms have to be mains-wired?

New homes and major renovations need mains-wired, interlinked alarms. In existing homes battery alarms can meet the minimum, but mains-wired interlinked alarms give better protection because one alarm sets them all off.

How often should alarms be tested?

Press the test button once a month, and replace alarms at the end of their life, usually around ten years.

Can you help with a system for an HMO?

Yes. Shared houses often need more detection than a family home. We can look at what you have and what is needed.

Need alarms fitted or checked?
