Can anyone tell me regs on these as my renovation has just had the local authority out for my building warrant and they have said I need more?
As the ones I have are too far from bedrooms. Does anyone have the regs on this?
I have 6 smoke and 1 heat in the kitchen all mains and interlinked.
The main one in question is 3 metres from a guest bedroom and they are saying it's too far away and we need another one closer?

You say 'building warrant', which suggests you might be in Scotland? If so I'm no expert on Scottish regs so you'd best double check. Depending on your situation the regulation requires a minimum of 75db at the bedhead. There are two ways you could satisfy that; you could test on site - or you could have a sounder/detector within the room.
