Working smoke alarms save lives. We fit mains-powered smoke and heat alarms with battery backup, interlinked so that when one goes off they all do, so you hear it wherever you are in the house.
We fit alarms for homeowners, and for landlords and letting agents across Huddersfield who need their rental properties to meet their legal duties on alarms.
Where alarms are needed
- A smoke alarm in the hallway and landing on each storey
- A heat alarm in the kitchen, where smoke alarms give false alarms
- Extra smoke alarms in living rooms and bedrooms for better cover
- A carbon monoxide alarm in rooms with a fixed combustion appliance, such as a gas boiler or wood burner
- Replacement of alarms that are over ten years old
- Upgrades from battery-only alarms to mains interlinked systems
Safety tip: Test your alarms once a month by pressing the test button. Most alarms need replacing every ten years. Check the date on the back.
How it works
- We look at the layout of the property and recommend where alarms should go.
- We fit mains-powered alarms and link them together.
- We test the whole system so every alarm sounds together.

Questions about smoke & heat alarms
What do landlords in England need?
Landlords 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 (gas cookers excepted). Alarms must be working at the start of each tenancy.
Can you link alarms without running new cables?
Yes. Radio-interlinked alarms can link to each other wirelessly, which avoids lifting floors in older homes.
Why a heat alarm in the kitchen?
Smoke alarms go off with cooking smoke and steam. A heat alarm reacts to a rapid rise in temperature instead, so it protects the kitchen without false alarms.
