What does it cost in the South East?
Our guide range for mains-wired interlinked smoke, heat and CO alarms in the South East is £495–£990 per home. That is the UK range of £450–£900 (our estimate) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 1.10 (VOA Rating Cost Guide 2026: 1.05–1.15); 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?
Every home gets an alarm schedule (type, position, expiry date and test result) which feeds straight into your compliance records.

What alarms do social landlords in England need?
Under the 2022 amendment regulations, social landlords in England must ensure there is a smoke alarm on each storey with living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers), and repair or replace alarms once told they are faulty.
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.
