Every home in Scotland will be required to have interlinked fire alarms by February 2022.
The new law states:
🚨 One smoke alarm is to be installed in the room which is most frequently used for general daytime living purposes.
🚨 One smoke alarm is to be fitted in every circulation space on each storey, such as hallways and landings.
🚨 One heat alarm is to be installed in the kitchen.
🚨 All alarms should be ceiling-mounted and interlinked.
🚨 Where there is a carbon-fuelled appliance, such as a boiler, fire (including open fires), or heater, a carbon monoxide detector is also required. This does not need to be linked to the fire alarms.
🚨 If you live in a one-bedroom flat, you will need two smoke alarms and one heat alarm.
Our expert team can upgrade your smoke alarm system to meet these new regulations.
These changes have been put in place to help you keep your family and home safe and secure from the devastating effects of fire.
