Smoke & Heat Alarms
Working alarms give you and your family the earliest possible warning of a fire. Mains-powered alarms with battery backup, interlinked so that when one sounds they all sound, offer the best protection.
We recommend smoke alarms in hallways and landings, and a heat alarm in the kitchen, where cooking can set off smoke alarms. Where you have a boiler, fire or other fuel-burning appliance, a carbon monoxide alarm should be fitted too.
In England, landlords must fit a smoke alarm on every storey used as living accommodation and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance (gas cookers excepted), and repair or replace alarms when they're told they're faulty.
Areas we cover: Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside and Wigan, across Greater Manchester.

Most smoke and heat alarms should be replaced every ten years. Check the date on the back of the alarm.
A smoke alarm detects smoke particles and gives the earliest warning. A heat alarm responds to a rapid rise in temperature, so it's better suited to kitchens, where smoke alarms can be set off by cooking.
The regulations in England don't always require mains-powered alarms, but they are more reliable and are required in some properties, such as new builds and many HMOs.
Landlords in England must have the electrics in rented properties inspected at least every five years. We carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) across Manchester and can complete any remedial work needed.
