Replacing smoke alarms

Apart from an added heat detector in the kitchen or high risk area, only the escape routes are still covered under LD2

It also means a smoke detector in the living room.

As I said, IS 3218 goes much further.

If there is a risk in living room say open fire then yes....but this is where most of built up England do not have such risks. So the standards are just the same under part 6 but not required. Classic would be solar panels and control in loft areas, now this would class as a risk for detection within roof spaces, something missed alot in England

Hi

I need to replace two smoke alarms in my house, one is in the hallway and the other on the upstairs landing. They are interlinked, and 240 volt powered.

Which type of smoke alarm would be best for these places, and do you have any suggestions of any particular brand of smoke alarm to use? (They don't need to have the terminals on them as there is a back box in the ceiling)
Thanks for any advice
