Hi, does anyone know what the regulations are on smoke alarms these days. Seem to just be finding stuff about rental properties. Having a garage conversion at the moment done and on the drawings it states:
"Interlinked smoke detection system,
mains operated with battery back up
to comply to BS: 5446 & BS 5446.1
To be installed in ground floor and
1st floor lobby areas, with additional
heat detector to kitchen"
Problem is we have nest protect downstairs in lounge and upstairs in the hallway, wired in and connected to each other. They don't do the heat detection part which means couldn't be all linked if we stuck something else in the kitchen.
Anyone know if it's definitely mandatory or can we get away with the two or just add a third into the new area.
Thanks a lot.
