Grade A Fire Detection Advice/Installer Required

[ahhaah]

In my 3 storey house I need to fit a grade A LD2 alarm system. Mains connected grade D currently exists in the correct locations but I guess because they are not fed by FP cable I will need to rewire to the new detectors I'll need to purchase, which I am capable of doing.

What I can't do is connect it all up to the control panel and the control panel to the consumer unit. I will also need a certificate. For this I would hire someone.

Questions:

Does the above sound like a reasonable way of lowering labour costs that an electrician can work with?

Does all FP cable need to be enclosed in trunking (even if inside a cupboard or in the loft)?

Is the interlink cable separate?

Any advice for how to get this sorted as low cost as possible? Happy to receive quotes (NW London).

I would be employing someone from the outset to do all the installation work, the questions you are asking suggest you are not competent to be doing this.
