Aico Ei405TY - 10year plus wireless interconnecting. Battery outlasts life of unit rendering the requirement for mains a moot one. Not cheap - getting on for a ton.

He has said that either fire doors or a smoke in every room! Looks like it is something to do with the attic room! But how the hell are we meant to know this! He turns up after the ceilings are plastered upstairs and above that is the new loft with no access into the eves!! Surely he should have stated this during first fix inspection of cable routes! Boo hoo
Thanks for comments and if there are any more experiences of this please keep them coming

That is a bit unfair, this should have been made clear from the begining of the job. What made of detection is install at this time

do we need to go to an isolator before we go to the smoke as the regs say that if you use this method then you need to be able to isolate smokes without disturbing the light circuit?

This one is irrelevant as it is completely wireless, as in no mains.

as for an isolator, well, you can unclip the smoke alarm with a screwdriver and slide it off the mount plate without powering down

Would bring grade down to F, but its worth putting forward I have had these accepted on a listed house, because of decor...and all lighting cable had been run in the old gas pipes.
They also link into the mains radio bases.
