I have bought sixty batteries in the last fortnight, several of the HMOs already have alarms with sealed for life batteries, but I have replaced over twenty alarms as well in the last fortnight.
In the last month I have found two alarms that were twenty two years old and actually finding a house or HMO with compliant alarms is highly unusual.
It’s difficult to believe that people either seem to think alarms and batteries last forever and/or have absolutely no understanding of basic smoke alarm maintenance, particularly when the “people” are property professionals.
