Which rules apply in Northern Ireland?
Northern Ireland has its own rules on alarms in rented homes. We fit to your specification and confirm the requirements for your homes in writing before appointment.
What does it cost in Northern Ireland?
Our guide range for mains-wired interlinked smoke, heat and CO alarms in Northern Ireland is £405–£810 per home. That is the UK range of £450–£900 (our estimate) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.90 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
Where alarms are mains-wired, the electrical work is certified, and residents are shown how to test and silence them.

Should we fit mains-wired alarms?
Many landlords specify mains-wired, interlinked alarms as their standard because they are more reliable than battery-only alarms. We fit whichever you specify.
What is the standard in Scotland?
Since February 2022, every home in Scotland needs interlinked smoke alarms in the living room and every circulation space, a heat alarm in the kitchen and a CO alarm wherever there is a carbon-fuelled appliance or flue.
