Smoke alarm going off over toast, steam or a hot shower? The usual causes are the wrong type of alarm in the wrong place, dust and old age. Here is what to do when it sounds, where smoke and heat alarms should go, the UK kitchen rules, and our Ajax FireProtect 2 prices.
How often to test smoke and heat alarms in the UK: at least monthly in every home, weekly for Grade A panel systems, and on day one of each new tenancy in England. We cover the rules in England, Wales and Scotland, when to replace alarms, and how Ajax FireProtect 2 tests itself, with our prices.
How optical smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms detect danger, which one UK fire services and regulations put in each room, how far to mount them from walls and boilers, the rules in Scotland, England and Wales, and which Ajax FireProtect 2 version suits each space, with our prices inc VAT.
Self-monitored alarms alert your phone and leave the response to you; monitored alarms also report to a 24-hour alarm receiving centre. We explain how Ajax hubs do both, what UK police need before they respond, how photo verification and fire alerts work, and which option suits your home or business.
What UK law asks of landlords and HMOs for smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms in England, Scotland and Wales, which BS 5839-6 grade LACORS guidance points to for each type of property, and where Ajax FireProtect 2 wireless alarms fit, with our inc-VAT prices. Delivery is extra.
