Which Smoke Alarms Does My Rental Need? | Techmeisters Ltd

For a standalone residential rental, you will likely require D1 detectors, fitted in locations as specified by category LD2. That is, mains powered and battery-backed (D1) detectors will be required in all circulation areas (escape routes), and a heat detector in the kitchen (LD2 specification). For an exact specification thats tailored to meet the needs of your exact property, we highly recommend having a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) undertaken.

Which Smoke Alarms Does My Rental Need?

For a standalone residential rental, you will likely require D1 detectors, fitted in locations as specified by category LD2.

For an exact specification thats tailored to meet the needs of your exact property, we highly recommend having a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) undertaken.

Am I Allowed To Fit Battery Alarms In The Hallway & Landing?

This is a long standing conversation, where we'd professional say no. A piece of government guidance literature has been circulating for quite some time, and is quite outdated. Don't forget, government guidance is only guidance. We'd look to the world class standard for Fire Detection and Fire Alarms, BS5839, and BS5839 clearly states, almost all properties should be looking at having D1 LD2 systems installed as a minimum. Why would anyone want to try and bypass minimum safety standards?

What Fire Alarms Are Required In AirBNBs?

As already noted, and where they are so new, Airbnbs havn't always been strictly specified as a type of property requiring at least a D1 LD2 Fire Detection System. The rules are now quite clear - and for most standard properties, this consists of mains-powered, battery-backed detectors in all circulation areas (escape routes), and a heat detector in the kitchen(s).

How Can You Extend Wifi?

Depending on the current setup at the property, and what you might want to achieve, we can make use of:

Upgrading your existing router for a better spread
Installing Wifi extenders inside the property
Installing Wifi extenders outside the property, for use in the garden
Installing line of sight bridges to reach provide internet connections to structures at much greater distances
