Protect Your Home, Family, or Business with Professional Smoke Alarm Installation

A working smoke alarm is one of the most important safety features your property can have. Fires spread fast and without an early warning, the effects can be devastating. I supply and install interlinked smoke alarms that meet the latest UK fire safety regulations, giving you peace of mind 24/7.

 

Why Choose Professional Smoke Alarm Installation?

DIY or battery-only smoke alarms are often unreliable and easy to neglect. I install hardwired, interlinked alarms that provide:

  • Comprehensive coverage – all alarms are connected, so if one detects smoke, they all sound.
  • Long-lasting reliability – mains-powered alarms with backup batteries ensure protection even during a power cut.
  • Compliance – installed to meet British Standards (BS 5839).
  • Peace of mind – professionally fitted and tested by a qualified electrician.

Domestic & Commercial Smoke Alarm Solutions

  • Homeowners – protect your family with interlinked smoke and heat alarms in kitchens, living areas, and bedrooms.
  • Landlords – meet legal obligations with compliant installations and certification.
  • Businesses – ensure workplace safety and insurance compliance with full fire alarm systems.

The Risks of Not Having a Working Smoke Alarm

  • Delayed fire detection – without an alarm, a fire may spread unnoticed until it’s too late.
  • Increased risk of injury or death – the UK Fire Service reports that you’re twice as likely to die in a house fire without a working smoke alarm.
  • Property damage – the faster a fire spreads, the greater the damage to your home or business.
  • Non-compliance penalties – landlords and businesses must have compliant alarms fitted or risk fines and legal consequences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many smoke alarms do I need?
A: The recommendation is at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home, plus heat alarms in kitchens. Larger properties or rentals may require more.

Q: Do landlords need smoke alarms by law?
A: Yes. Landlords in England must install at least one smoke alarm on each storey of their rental property, plus carbon monoxide alarms where required. Scotland has stricter laws requiring interlinked alarms in all homes.

Q: Can I just use battery-powered smoke alarms?
A: Battery alarms are legal, but they’re less reliable. Mains-powered interlinked alarms are safer and strongly recommended, especially for rentals and businesses.

Q: How long do smoke alarms last?
A: Most alarms should be replaced every 10 years. I can advise on replacements if your alarms are old or faulty.

Q: Can you install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms too?
A: Yes – I often fit CO alarms alongside smoke alarms to provide full protection, particularly where gas appliances are present.

Q: How quickly can you install them?
A: In most homes, I can install a compliant system in a single visit. Larger or commercial properties may require a survey first.
