Colder months mean more time indoors — ovens on, heaters running, and candles lit. It’s the ideal moment to check your smoke and heat alarms are up to date and in the right locations.
Smoke Alarms: Are Yours Up to Date Before Winter?
The modern standard for homes
- A smoke alarm on each floor
- A heat alarm in the kitchen (avoids false alarms from steam)
- Interlinked alarms so if one sounds, they all sound
- Replace alarms around the 10-year mark (sensors degrade)
We install wired or 10-year sealed battery alarms from trusted brands and test them properly before we leave.
Typical issues we fix
- Missing alarms on landings or in loft conversions
- A smoke alarm fitted in the kitchen instead of a heat alarm
- Out-of-date units past their replace-by date
- Random beeping (low battery or end-of-life signals)
Carbon monoxide (CO) alarms
If you have a gas boiler, open fire, or log burner, a CO alarm is essential. We’ll recommend the right location and test the device.
Simple process, fast install
- Quick survey and advice

FAQs

A: Both are acceptable when correctly specified; we’ll suggest the best option for your home layout.
