Mains Powered Smoke Alarms in Shrewsbury
Another recent job for a landlord in Shrewsbury who needed mains powered smoke alarms fitted in a rental property.
The minimum best practice for domestic properties is to have at least one working smoke alarm on each level (hence the typical install of one smoke alarm located in the downstairs entrance hallway and one on the upstairs landing).
However for "rented" properties in England - the minimum recommendation is to comply with the "British Standard".
In doing so you more than adequately meet the landlord obligations in regards to fire safety for the rental property.
The “British Standard” for “rented” properties is – Grade D1 category LD2 – Alarms in hallways and landings (circulation spaces and escape routes) plus alarms in the kitchen and the main habitable area which is usually considered the living room (high risk areas).
Consequently this typically means that at least 4x alarm units need to be installed throughout the property (hallway / landing / kitchen / living room).
