Hi, Im looking to install smoke and heat detectors in a flat and need advice to achieve the minimum required protecting, as asked by the owner.
Obviously I will install a heat detector in the kitchen and smoke in the living room and hall.
The problem is, it's a second floor flat with an internal staircase which is part of the flat and not communal.
I though I would need another two smoke detectors, one at the top and bottom? Or is this excessive?
The bottom of the stairs at the front door is just a 1 metre squared area which goes straight up. The top is very close to the hall smoke detector but a door separates the two areas and the area above door is longer than 10% of room height.
It is better to have too many but customer might not want to spend a fortune on more of the battery radio 10 year detectors than required.
I have attached photos for reference.
Any information/advice is much appreciated.
