Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

-Gas Safety Certificate

From October 1st 2015 new laws were introduced in the UK regarding Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms. There are two basic requirements.

1. At least one smoke alarm must be installed on every story of a rental property which is used as living accommodation.

2. A carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in any room used as living accommodation where solid fuel is used.

It is the landlords responsibility to provide smoke and carbon monoxide alarms at the beginning of each new tenancy. It is then the tenants responsibility to test the alarms regularly and make sure they are in working order.

The new regulations do not stipulate which sort of alarms are to be fitted ( hard wired or battery powered ). The landlord must make an informed decision as to the best alarms for their properties and tenants.

Please be aware that these are minimum requirements and we would strongly advise that a Carbon Monoxide should be fitted in any room containing any gas burning appliance.

We charge £25 to supply and fit a compliant battery operated smoke or carbon monoxide alarm during our gas safety inspection. If you wish to have any installed please click yes on the booking form and stipulate the number of each in the further information box.
