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 Owain, but that is exactly what I wanted to avoid which is why I don't want the agent to get their tame spark to do it.


    The owners have now bought some wireless smoke (2) and heat (1) alarms from Fireangel, which were reasonably priced. £128 in total.


    Hopefully this will keep the Local Authorities happy and might even spot a fire.
