Smoke Detectors

All new homes must be fitted with mains operated smoke detectors. They must be installed on each floor and must be interlinked.

There are currently no regulations governing older homes, however we would strongly advise the installation of at least battery operated devices on each floor.

It is important that they are regularly checked.

The following information is intended to give you the Landlord a guide to the more important safety regulations in relation to rented property. We must point out that this information outlines the regulations at the present time, but these maybe subject to review. We cannot therefore accept any liability for any consequences whatsoever in respect of your failing to comply with safety regulations and would encourage you to refer to the Regulations for full details of the implications of the Regulations and/or seek legal advice if unclear.
