Smoke Alarms
Having a smoke alarm fitted in your home could help save your life and your families lives as well as your home.
When carrying out full structural surveys on homes our surveyors will note in our survey reports if smoke alarms are present or not in the property. Smoke alarms are so important for safety and can detect fires in their early stages enabling precious time for you and your family to be able to leave your house.
What type of smoke alarm?
We would always recommend, for your own safety, that smoke detectors are installed. We would always recommend a hard-wired fire alarm system and are also aware that some now work from a wireless signal, which may be worth investigating. Whilst fire is relatively rare it is in a worse case scenario and obviously devastating.
There are four main types of smoke alarm on the market currently:-
- Ionisation
- Optical
- Heat
- Combined Optical Smoke and Heat Alarms
