I could not disagree more. Design is the simple part. It is done in the head and on the back of smoke boxes by thousands of sparks everyday. A nicely presented drawing on A1 paper and a design done on a software program is no more than a fancy computer and an expensive printer. The guys on the ground are the real stars IMO.
You carry on house bashing, best job you can do...
Not true, the requirement for "non-combustible" CU casings came directly from LFB.
Me personally. I think the CU reg is justified.

Shotgunsteve...or AKA UKESrail, .....BYE BYE Again...!!!
That explains some things!! lol!!
Small point ....
Most ten year domestic type Smoke alarms ie Aico are presumably called this due to the rechargeable battery lifespan,
yet the actual detection elements are only guaranteed for 5 years after which the element is meant to be tested as per manufacturers guidance,
Yet its a common conception that you can fit and forget for 10 years
People need to check the instructions!
I have no problem with fire men doing home safety visits.
by all means stick some battery alarms in and tick some boxes.
i am old enough to remember when the fire service got involved in the installation of fire alarms and the like and would tell you what THEY wanted.
we all knew where we stood then.
they were the experts in fire and were usually helpful in fulfilling your fire safety requirements.
ffwd 20 years and they don't want to know. only to hang you if something's not quite right in their eyes.
at a shopping centre job I do a bit at , me and the manager spotted a flaw in the design of a large unit where the smoke extract as 3 times as powerful in the centre rather than the proposed one in the unit which was about 60m away.
the laws of physics kinda dictated that if there was a fire the centre extract would totally bypass the units smoke extract and drag smoke for 60m through the unit.
totally defeating the purpose of the units system.
did the fire service and the building control come up with a solution.....
did they ****.
it was a specialist problem and they washed their hands of it.
