I have completed some work on an extension above a garage. The existing stairway and reception are undisturbed by this work. The architect did not specify any smoke alarms on his drawings. I added a hard wired smoke alarm in the extension on its own Rcbo from cu in garage. The building inspector has been out and remarked that a further 2 smoke alarms should be fitted and INTERCONNECTED !?!? One in ground floor reception connected to mine on first floor then a further smoke on an existing staircase to existing loft conversion. which would mean disruption to customers stairs and reception.
Is the building inspectors request reasonable? Or is he just talking regs by numbers?
I am quite prepared to do extra work and get paid for it but customer is p*** off and has asked me if the extra is really necessary. which I am not sure is the case.
I have already suggested RF units but at £70 a pop Customer is not keen on.
