What's included
Interlinked alarms give everyone in the building precious extra seconds, when one sounds, they all sound. For landlords, working, compliant alarms are a legal requirement, not an optional extra.

Domestic detection
For most homes the requirement is interlinked detection, so that a detector triggering in one part of the property sounds the alarm everywhere. That matters most at night and upstairs, where a smoke alarm downstairs going off on its own may not wake anyone. Interlinking can be wired or wireless depending on the property.
Getting the right detector in the right room
Detector type matters. Optical detectors suit circulation spaces and are less prone to nuisance alarms near kitchens, heat detectors belong in kitchens where smoke detection would go off constantly, and carbon monoxide detection is a separate requirement wherever there is a fuel burning appliance. Fitting the wrong type in the wrong room is the main reason people end up taking batteries out, which defeats the whole thing.
Rented property and HMOs
Landlords have specific duties on detection, and houses in multiple occupation carry heavier requirements again, typically a more comprehensive system with a control panel rather than standalone detectors. If you are letting a property in Blackpool, it is worth confirming what grade of system your particular property requires rather than assuming standard domestic alarms are enough.
Commercial premises
Business premises need a system appropriate to the building and its use, along with a record of testing. We will fit and certify the system, and set you up with a simple testing routine you can actually keep on top of.
