Smoke and heat alarm installation in Woking
- 01
Smoke or heat alarm
Smoke alarms give the earliest warning in hallways, landings and living rooms. In kitchens, steam and cooking would set them off, so a heat alarm is used instead, which sounds when the temperature rises quickly. Each room gets the type that suits it.
- 02
Why interlinked alarms matter
Interlinked alarms are connected, by cable or radio, so when one detects a fire they all sound. If a fire starts downstairs at night, the alarm on the landing goes off too, giving everyone more time to get out. New builds and major works need them.

Rules for landlords
Landlords in England must fit at least one smoke alarm on every storey used as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance, such as a gas boiler. The alarms must be checked as working at the start of each tenancy.
What to expect from a smoke and heat alarm installation
We look at the layout of the property, the existing alarms and where people sleep, and recommend the type and position of each alarm. The free quote covers the alarms, wiring or radio links, and any carbon monoxide alarms needed.
We fit the alarms, connect them to a lighting circuit or their own circuit, and link them together. Each one is tested so you hear them all sound together. We note the replacement date, as most alarms should be renewed every 10 years.

Smoke and Heat Alarm Installation questions
Do I need mains-powered smoke alarms in my Woking home?
For new builds, extensions and major renovations, building regulations call for mains-powered, interlinked alarms. For an existing home, they're not always required, but they're far more reliable than battery-only alarms and give earlier warning across the whole house, wherever a fire starts.
What alarms do landlords in Woking need?
Landlords in England must have a working smoke alarm on each storey with living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in rooms with a fixed combustion appliance, apart from gas cookers. HMOs often need more, depending on the fire risk assessment and licence conditions.
How often should smoke alarms be replaced?
Most smoke and heat alarms should be replaced every 10 years, as the sensors become less reliable with age. The date is usually printed on the back. Test them monthly with the test button, and replace the whole set at once so they stay compatible.
Can radio-linked alarms be fitted without new wiring?
Yes. Radio-interlinked alarms talk to each other wirelessly, so only a power supply is needed at each alarm, often taken from the nearest light. Some sealed-battery versions need no wiring at all, which suits homes where lifting floors isn't practical.
