Smoke alarms have to be installed in any new building or conversion and we would strongly recommend that you install at least one alarm per floor of your property.
Interconnected smoke alarms are designed to sound simultaneously when any one smoke alarm is activated, providing early warning to all occupants of the house at the same time.
Smoke alarms are cheap at less than £5 and available in DIY stores and at many supermarkets.

Smoke alarms should be placed in the hallway outside bedrooms as well as inside bedrooms and common living areas.
Smoke alarms should be placed near bedrooms, either on the ceiling or six to twelve inches below the ceiling on the wall.

Smoke Alarms Smoke Alarms are effective in detecting many of the 60,000 house fires that the fire brigade are called out to each year.
Smoke alarms have been fitted in the Year 5 and 6 classrooms and the Fire Safety Officer has checked that safety precautions in the terrapin building have been closely adhered to.
Smoke alarms are extremely effective at preventing fire-related death and injury.
