Fire alarms for landlords and home movers
Government regulations require every private rented property to be fitted with smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms. The minimum requirement is to install one smoke alarm on every storey of the rental property on which there is a room used wholly or partly as living accommodation.
You can find out more information regarding government regulations for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms for privately rented properties here: The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations 2015: Q&A booklet for the private rented sector – landlords and tenants
A tenanted property requires a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR. An Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR ensures that all electrical installations in the property, such as light fixtures and electrical sockets, are safe before the tenant or homeowner moves in.
If the property does not pass the EICR you have 28 days to rectify the problems. Should you not correct the issues, you risk a fine of £5,000 for first offenders and up to £30,000 for anyone who offends more than once.

What are the 5 main types of fire alarm systems?
With a conventional fire alarm system, there is one central fire alarm control panel. In addition, the conventional fire alarm system is connected by wires to various zones. Zones generally refer to each level of a building, meaning if a fire begins, the location can be quickly identified, allowing the fire brigade to direct their efforts towards the fire’s starting point. The main control panel is also connected to two sounder circuits that send out a loud warning sound/bell if a fire is detected.
Analogue addressable fire alarm systems are more complex and tend to be used for large buildings. The control panel is wired up to detectors throughout the building. A standard analogue system, do not determine whether there is a fire or fault. Instead, this is determined by the central control unit, meaning accuracy may not be as high.
An intelligent analogue system has a computer and can determine whether there is a fire or fault and is communicated to the main control panel. Each detector has its unique address, meaning the location of the fire can be identified quickly by the control panel. Different loop versions are available with the analogue fire alarm system, therefore, addressing the needs of various sized locations.
Wireless fire alarm systems make use of radio communications to link all devices to the main controllers. Radio signals are sent to the central controller should heat or smoke be detected, which is essentially an analogue addressable fire alarm system without cables; therefore, the same benefits apply.
An aspirating system enables smoke to be detected in the very early stages of a fire, which could help stop the potential spread of fire. The air sampling system samples air through pipes/tubes. It draws it towards the aspirating system, allowing it to detect smoke.
The main benefit of an aspirating fire alarm is its sensitivity, which allows smoke to be detected at the very early stages, potentially preventing widespread destruction.
Hybrid alarms combine the features of a conventional fire alarm with addressable fire alarms into a single panel. In addition, the integrated technology fits some of the settings better than either the addressable or the conventional alarm.
