    smoke detector earth/interconnect

    Was the smoke detector a stand-alone mains type detector or part of a system(ie panel, detector cirtcuit in pvc, sounder circuit in MI) when the voltage would have been 24v dc. System type alarms can have the detector circuit in pvc. Still no excuse for bare earth as it should have been...

    4 core isolation.

    There should only be one supply to the boiler and that should be from a switched FCU which isolates the Phase and Neutral. The earth should not be isolated. The switchwire should be an integral part of the boiler circuit fed from the previously mentioned FCU. If you have a switchwire fed...

    Heat alarm

    DO NOT fit a smoke detector anywhere near the kitchen unless you want constant problems. A fixed temperature heat detector is what is required
