Fire alarms for rental properties

Harry Macdonald
I may be asked to install a fire alarm in a (Scottish) flat before it is rented. As I understand it, they need to be mains powered and linked so all sound if one goes off.

What is the easiest way to do this in a flat with high ceilings and extensive decorative cornice around the edge of the ceiling.

I do not know if there is a live in the ceiling roses, or only a switched live, and I will not be able to find out until I arrive (I live 400 miles away).

Any words of wisdom gratefully received.

    Thanks AnthonyBoyle.

    This seems just the job but interestingly I still can't find it on your website unless I search for that type number The EI 605CRF in there but that is not a 10 year battery.

    Maybe you can have a chat with your website designer.

    Cheers




    As I said above, things are changing.


    Both alarms are on the Screwfix website you might have a knee trembling moment given the Scots reputation for being careful with their money


    If paying for them to be supplied and installed through a letting agent a landlord could be looking at a bill of over £240 for two alarms.
