HI SPARKYS
JUST A QUICK BIT OF ADVICE REQUIRED.
HAVE RECENTLY BEEN TO PRICE A DB CHANGE OF THE DUAL SPLIT LOAD VARIETY.and noticed the instal has a dedicated smoke detection circuit .Now i have also noticed that this circuit is buried in plaster (through a safe zone) and in fact all circuits...
Just rewiring a house which has been gutted and had a new extension on back and side. Smokes are wired in hall down, hall up, attic top floor and a heat in kitchen all interlinked. The building inspector just came and said we need a smoke in every room in the house apart from bathrooms and en...

Me and another spark are wiring a fire alarm system in the landlords stairway. On the drawing it shows a position of one smoke,but in the position it states is a slop ceiling. This is not permitted right? Unless i can get some kind of angled smoke alarm back box to make the sense not on the...

Hi all
Ended up at yet another partly done electrical job trying to figure out whats been done and what hasn't. I noticed the spark has not included a new circuit for smoke alarms as its a refurb + extension on a flat and thought ideally one should have been installed. Can I just take a local...
Lady I'm dealing with today and tomorrow has asked me about mains smokes. She wants one in EVERY room in the house, and on the landings and even in the cellar. She's a tad paranoid about fire I think. She also wants the smoke alarms to detect carbon monoxide. I've seen battery combo...
Going to install one heat and two smokedetectors in an existing three bed property.
Consumer unit is old-school Wylexre-wireable fuses. The customer has refused an upgrade.
As I understand it – I could installradio-linked alarms off the existing lighting circuits but what's thesituation...
I went to price a job up today and noticed the lady had physically disconnected her 2 interlinked smoke alarms, due to them always going off.
Obviously, I was concerned to see this and pointed out that not only is this dangerous, but that her insurance is probably invalid. She is a heavy...
